Impressions of spiritual intimacy
There are two theories about post-impressionist art. One is that it was a continuation of the modernist spirit of the impressionists, with the application of ever-more scientific principles of color and light to the depiction of objects. The other is that post-impressionism was a re-assertion of an artistic tradition of symbolism and a stylistic move away from naturalism and realism.

Now we have "The Equalizer," a sort of "Eastern Promises" transported from its London setting to a big-box hardware store in Boston.
