Girl with a Pearl Earring () - Parents Guide: Sex & Nudity - IMDb
Watching this film, we feel immersed in the damp, canal streets of 17th century Delft, an atmosphere that gives off the suggestion of fertility. Scarlett Johansson is Griet, her mouth always parted as if unconsciously and sensually waiting for her sexual hunger to be fed. Colin Firth as Vermeer can barely contain his seething passion for Griet, who he quickly realizes profoundly understands the power of color and light. They are kindred souls in this sense, but their unconsummated sexual affair can only be realized in displaced ways. Vermeer teaches her Griet to make paint in a sensual, tactile scene filled with the colorful mashing of ingredients and mixing of fluids. He puts his robe over the two of them, as if under bed covers, while they look into a camera obscura.
