Hogarth's Progress

About This Movie

Hogarth's Progress is quite a fascinating documentary that delves into the life and work of William Hogarth, an artist who really captured the essence of 18th-century Britain. The film has this satirical edge that mirrors Hogarth's own style and critiques the society of his time. It’s not just a dry recounting of facts; it feels more like a conversation that reflects on morality and class, especially through his notorious etchings. The pacing is reflective and allows you to soak in the profound themes while the visuals often feel like you're stepping into his illustrations. The practical effects here are subtle but effective, bringing Hogarth's world to life without overwhelming the narrative. It’s a unique glimpse into an artist who was ahead of his time, both humorous and biting in his observations.
