Query: A Slice of Domestic Drama from Another Time

Viewing this beautiful little film, I was initially inclined to dismiss it because of the modesty of its ambition. (It provides a fictional background establishing why one of Vermeer's most famous portraits was painted.)Then, while watching the DVD's extra features, I listened in amazement as the film's producer described GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING as a "domestic thriller." What a pretentious Hollywood ninny! That is exactly what this film ISN'T.What it IS is a slice of domestic history from another time and place, with marvelous cinematography and a great cast. And that is good enough!
