A film of the Stephen Sondheim Broadway musical that won a Pulitzer Prize in 1985. It has a fascinating concept - speculating on how French Impressionist painter Georges Seurat came to paint his masterwork 'A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of Grand Jatte'. Sondheim and co-author James Lapine (who also worked together on 'Into the Woods') create flesh and blood characters out of the various figures on the pointillist painting, and give them the most tortuous set of lyrics to sing. The design is stunning, as they all come together at the end of act one to create the finished picture.
