The heroine's facial expression has basically not changed, and it is impossible to speculate on her state of mind. Maybe it is because the novel is written in the first person, and there is no hint of the heroine's expression left for the movie? The music MV on the plate is even more inexplicable. Scarlett Johansson wears very modern clothes and surrounds a rock musician ××00. (Want to say, what does this have to do with the movie? Is it selling celebrity effects?) It ruined the good impression she left on me in lost in translation.
It seems that Vermeer's painting has been attracting attention since the film came out, so the effect of this film on artistic literacy is worthy of praise. However, the story is fictional. Everyone laughed and laughed when they saw it as another romantic story. Because the identities of most of Vermeer's 36 surviving paintings are still a mystery, such artistic manipulations have at least not altered the facts. Compared to another film describing Artemisia Gentileschi, the relationship between Artemisia and her former teacher is portrayed as a beautiful love, which is much more kind (the people were obviously raped, and they finally won the lawsuit and carried a traumatic life for the rest of their lives).
Also, don't be fooled by the pornographic stills on the DVD jacket, the film is very pure. I reckon it was using popular fantasies about the special (physical) relationship between the painter and the model to add to the selling point.
