About this product

Product Information

Provocative British director Peter Greenaway returns to form with his 2007 film NIGHTWATCHING. The intellectual whodunit follows legendary Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn (Martin Freeman, best known as Tim in the British version of THE OFFICE) as he uncovers a murder-mystery while painting his masterpiece "The Night Watch." When his investigation reveals a dangerous conspiracy that could ruin him and his family, Rembrandt decides to hide clues to the crime within the artwork itself. Like an arthouse THE DA VINCI CODE, NIGHTWATCHING finds Greenaway exploring his signature theme of the meaning of art in the neoclassical style that marked his early films such as THE BELLY OF AN ARCHITECT and THE DRAUGHTSMAN'S CONTRACT.

  • Justice backfires for Rembrandt

    Film was like watching an excellent stage play. Sets were minimal but effective. Acting was outstanding. Story engaging but it helped that I have a background in art history and believe someone who knows nothing about Rembrandt or the period of time in which he lived might miss some of the subtleties. This is rated R. It has artfully suggestive sex scenes, and graphic language.. My only reservation is the extreme repetition of vulgar words we all know. They lose impact with overuse until one becomes numb to hearing them.
