The affair between Jappe Nilssen
and Oda Krohg is now developing.
1:24:11
Åsgårdstrand, 1889.
1:24:16
She forced her way between me
and my ideal,
1:24:21
my art!
1:24:24
And yet I couldn't stop loving her.
1:24:29
I couldn't put up with anymore
1:24:31
of her false devotion and lies.
1:24:36

1:24:40

- I don't give a damn!
1:24:44
Damn it, I said to her,

1:24:49
Your body will become deformed
by disease and rot.
1:24:56

1:25:00
I'll laugh while I drink wine
with beautiful women.
1:25:06
My joy will be even greater than
the despair she brought.
1:25:14
I shall laugh, laugh, laugh!
1:25:23
Hurt and angered by
the continuing viciousness
1:25:26
of the Kristiania critics,
1:25:27
seeking to escape from the pain
of his personal existence in Norway,

Edvard Munch leaves for France,
to study art.
1:25:44
He meets with Emmanuel Goldstein,
a 27 year-old Danish poet,
1:25:49
whose own work bears
a disillusioned view on love.
1:25:53
Munch shares a room
with Goldstein, in St. Cloud,
1:25:57
outside Paris,
1:25:58
on the first floor above a café
