Emilio T @MilloTPue May 19, 2020 The main essence of the movie dwells in photography. See more Sep 30, 2019 6/10 confusing, pompous, gritty, true See more Mar 1, 2017 Martin Freeman stars as Rembrandt in Greenaway's film that posits that Rembrandt discovered that a murder had been concealed by the members of the militia company depicted in "The Night Watch" and that he embedded clues in the painting as an accusation. It's an odd film that incorporates deliberate anachronisms, mainly in the way characters speak, and references back to earlier Greenaway films, mainly "The Draughtsman's Contract" and "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover". It's also a very deliberately profane and raunchy film. If you're dying to see Freeman naked ... look no further. See more May 20, 2016 Peter Greenaway's film: beautiful, but totally unapproachable. See more Feb 24, 2016 I haven't forgiven Greenaway for the shit he pulled in The Baby of Macon but this reminded me of the possible beauty of his art, even if it is very conventional by his recent standards. The lighting is impossibly gorgeous, and the sadness it's frequently imbued with surprisingly affecting. It makes me want to re-watch all his classics on proper Blu-Ray transfers, including this one. See more Dec 2, 2012 An art movie in every sense, featuring beautiful cinematography, vibrant colors, and elaborate sets that look more like paintings than real-life locations (intentionally so). The dialogue is sharp and witty, with a dose of black humor typical to Greenaway movies. Unfortunately, the story is a bit muddled and not easy to follow. Peter Greenaway fans would love this movie, not so sure about the rest of the audience. See more Read all reviews
