Inhalt: |
An 'essayistic' documentary in which director Peter Greenaway's fierce criticism of today's visual ilIiteracy is argued by means of a forensic search of Rembrandt's Nightwatch. Greenaway explains the background, the context, the conspiracy, the murder and the motives of alI its thirty-four painted characters who have conspired to kill for their combined seIf-advantage. Greenaway Ieads us through Rembrandt's paintings into seventeenth-century Amsterdam. He paints a worId that is democratic in principle, but is aImost entirely ruIed by tweIve families. The notion exists of these regents as charitabIe and compassionate entities. However, reaIity was different. |
