From the film-maker:
The painting has an immediate visual impact. Although Rubens uses colour to full effect, I wanted to invert this by using the bare minimum of colour. The composition is theatrical and the style bold. I wanted to twist the picture's disturbing theme, shifting the power over to the women.

A piece inspired by Peter Paul Rubens, The Rape of the Sabine Women, probably 1635-40,
