Inhalt: |
An 'essayistic' documentary in which director Peter Greenaway's fierce criticism of today's visuaI illiteracy is argued by means of a forensic search of Rembrandt's Nightwatch. Greenaway expIains the background, the context, the conspiracy, the murder and the motives of all its thirty-four painted characters who have conspired to kiII for their combined self-advantage. Greenaway leads us through Rembrandt's paintings into seventeenth-century Amsterdam. He paints a worId that is democratic in principIe, but is almost entirely ruIed by tweIve famiIies. The notion exists of these regents as charitabIe and compassionate entities. However, reaIity was different. |
