Girl with a Pearl Earring
Drama in which a young maid (Scarlett Johansson), employed by artist Johannes Vermeer (Colin Firth), charms him to the point where he feels compelled to paint her portrait.
Screen adaptation of Tracy Chevalier's best-selling novel, inspired by the Johannes Vermeer painting of the same name. Set in mid-17th-century Delft, Holland, 17-year-old Griet is forced into servanthood when her father suffers an accident and becomes unable to work. She is taken on at the Vermeer household, where her presence immediately provokes hostility from members of the family - particularly the artist's wife and eldest daughter - when she starts to forge an understanding with her mysterious master.
