Full Plot Details

An 'essayistic' 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 thirty-four painted characters who have conspired to kill for their combined self-advantage. Greenaway leads us through Rembrandt's paintings into seventeenth-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 entities. However, reality was different.

Movie Reviews

Artforum - 9/10 by Graham FullerRembrandt's J'Accuse-the first of nine documentaries Greenaway is making about classic paintings-is rigorous and enthralling.
ColeSmithey.com - 7/10 by Cole SmitheyMore than merely a resource for art historians and students, "Rembrandt's J'Accuse" is a gift from an underestimated genius of cinema. You might just might want to see it a second time.
New York Times - 7/10 by Manohla DargisGenerally absorbing if sometimes fog-inducing.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzLike all Greenaway films, it's not for all tastes.
Film Journal International - 6/10 by Ethan AlterPeter Greenaway's probing doc proves that a single picture really is worth a thousand words%u2026or an 86-minute film.
Village Voice - 6/10 by J. HobermanThe filmmaker uncovers a foul, lurid, corrupt, and perversely compelling conspiracy--which is to say, he successfully turns The Night Watch into a Peter Greenaway film.
User Review - 10/10 by Gregory WTaidehistoria dokumentti, joka palkitsee ensimmaisen vartin hammennyksen jalkeen. Opettaa 1,5 tunnissa miten Yovartiota voi katsotaan. Greenway on oman tyylinsa hiottuaan siirtynyt yha enemman puhtaan opettajan rooliin. Tama kehitys alkoi Baby of Maconista, jossa han naytti yleisolle paikkansa ja kulminoitui Veneziassa viime vuonna pystytettyyn renesanssi maalauksen dekonstruktio paviljonkiin.
User Review - 10/10 by ld pRembrandt's J'Accuse (2008) Directed by Peter Greenaway director of Cook Thief Cook Lover one of my all time favorite Art Films. This film is a historical recreation type of documentary with a very intellectual experimental type presentation. I found it very interesting loaded with knoweledge and very effective.
User Review - 10/10 by Gabriel KA companion piece to Peter Greenway's Nightwatching, it's a fascinating documentary that clears up the events depicted in a movie quite a bit. The director uses an unconventional narrative, sometimes using the actors from the movie as "witnesses" to tell the story. I can't speak as to whether or not the conspiracy theory holds water, but as a movie, it's a captivating watch.
User Review - 10/10 by Sami NKiehtova oppitunti kuvan lukemisesta ja vallasta. Eteni kuin trilleri: hieno essee ajasta ja maailmasta.
