Beautifully shot but horrifying in its depiction of the persecution of artists in dictatorial nations.
it signals a frightening future in which the present-day brutal repression of free minds by dictators becomes global. 
There is a joyousness at its heart - the joyousness of art. 
Branded is a triumph!"

                            "The images are seared into my imagination; at times it looked like a renaissance masterpiece, beautifully evoked despite the grim story. 
A woman’s struggle to be free will always get my vote.
A testament to art and survival."
