Rembrandt's J'Accuse...! (2008)

J'accuse is an 'essay-istic' documentary in which Greenaway's fierce criticism of today's visual illiteracy 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 all its 34 painted characters who have conspired to kill for their combined self-advantage. Greenaway leads us through Rembrandt's paintings into 17th century Amsterdam. He paints a world that is democratic in principle, but is almost entirely ruled by twelve families. The notion exists of these regents as charitable and compassionate beings. However, reality was different.

A thrilling examination of Rembrandt's Night Watch.

Paul C 07 Feb 2012

Peter Greenway's companion documentary to his excellent Rembrandt pic "Nightwatching". It feels more like an extended extra/promo for that film than a stand-alone piece. Well-done, but too much of it feels like Greenway is pulling the "evidence" out of thin air. It comes across as a bit self-indulgent at times, as well, with an inset of Greenway's talking head obscuring parts of the very painting he is discussing.

Generally absorbing if sometimes fog-inducing.

This Peter Greenaway film is heady, dense and intellectually demanding. Big surprise, eh? Mixing documentary style with recreations drawn from his companion film "Nightwatching" (which is much easier to watch), Greenaway himself appears onscreen to narrate a wordy, PhD-level dissection of Rembrandt's celebrated painting "The Night Watch." Relying on another of his easily parodied "list" structures, the director proceeds through 34 numbered mysteries surrounding the work, offering explanations that may or may not be fully provable (I am not an art scholar, so I'm not the one to ask). As with "Nightwatching," the central thesis is that Rembrandt embedded clues in his painting to expose an elite Dutch militia group's murder conspiracy. And furthermore, that this daring act of rebellion led to his upper-crust benefactors shunning him -- thus bringing about his financial ruin.

Peter Greenaway's probing doc proves that a single picture really is worth a thousand words%u2026or an 86-minute film.
