Download Movie NightwatchingWith the 400th anniversary of Rembrandt's birth in 2006, NIGHTWATCHING is truly a feast for the senses. Extravagant, suspenseful and sensuously beautiful, the mystery behind the extraordinary artist's infamous painting is perfectly explored by one of the most iconic Directors of our time - Peter Greenaway. The year 1642 marks the turning point in the life of the famous Dutch painter, Rembrandt, turning him from a wealthy respected celebrity into a discredited pauper. At the insistence of his pregnant wife Saskia, Rembrandt has reluctantly agreed to paint the Amsterdam Musketeer Militia in a group portrait that will later become to be known as The Nightwatch. He soon discovers that there is a conspiracy afoot with the Amsterdam merchants playing at soldiers maneuvering for financial advantage and personal power in, that time, the richest city in the Western World. Rembrandt stumbles on a foul murder. Confident in the birth of a longed-for son and heir, Rembrandt is determined to expose the conspiring murderers and builds his accusation meticulously in the form of the commissioned painting, uncovering the seamy and hypocritical side to Dutch Society in the Golden Age. Rembrandt's great good fortune turns. Saskia dies. Rembrandt reveals the accusation of murder in the painting and the conspirators plan revenge. They set out to discredit him at home and abroad. They plant a treacherous mistress, Geertje, to seduce him. They try to blind him. They plan his social and financial ruin, and to create the circumstances for his slide into penury, insult his young mistress Hendrickje, conspire to destroy his son, and bring Rembrandt to his knees. The bold and courageous painting of the Nightwatch, exceptional in aesthetics and content, is Rembrandt's most celebrated painting, it consolidated his reputation as a master-painter but it also destroyed him socially and financially.

He often said that Greenaway is my favorite living filmmaker. He is a true original and
at least four of his films are simple
masterpieces, especially by drowning and Numbers A Zed & Two Noughts. That
said that the ha ido too far up its own method in the past 20 years and
his work has been increasingly less effective with each film.

Nightwatching is a step in the right direction after the huge disappointment
Tulse Luper Suitcases. All technical elements of a
Greenaway film are in place - superb lighting, minimalist music,
theatrical scene, etc. - but this time we have a good
history. Despite his displeasure by the narrative, all the better
Greenaway films have at least has provided us with characters we can care about and
ideas can sink their teeth into. Here, we have a wide
thesis on art theory and a representation of Rembrandt as haughty, passionate artist
just as many flaws as us. Martin Freeman and energy
vulnerable performance is the heart and soul of the picture, holding
the entire document.

Nightwatching is 134 minutes long, but at least 20 minutes could have been cut
. In addition, after ending Rembrandt painting, the plot has no idea where to go
and most meanders for the rest of the film.
addition to Freeman, the cast is absolutely horrible.
There are some exceptions but in general everyone is either wooden or painfully
absurdly over-the-top. Worst of all, most of the plot is revealed
through dialogue, and it is difficult to focus on a complex story of when
the narrators are so terrible. Lastly, there is a surprising amount of
profanity in this movie, which is so excessive that
limits on free time parody. Well, people probably
swore in those days, we have it. It is not nervous or innovative,
is bad writing.

Still, with all its defects, Nightwatching is the best movie he has done in
long. While this is a bit more accessible than most
Greenaway films, is irritating, however, most attendees occasional movie,
for those of you waiting for the average biopic should stay away. But
those of you looking for a unique and visually stunning experience
could do much worse than Nightwatching. I really hope that makes
americas someday.
In a way, Greenaway is my touchstone of profound experience of cinema. It
with him that first studied the things that have become part of each
visual experience, "Godzilla against sea monster" to
homeopathically Medem more transcendental meditation and Ruiz .

Each film is its own adventure, and this is part of the joy. Each film is similar to
to achieve a context out of the ordinary
context of other films, so it helps if they have knowledge of the dynamics of
these contexts. What of those who are more natural for you
that the color of their films you prefer.

I like his "book" the best movies because I had prewoven worlds
he just happened to encircle. All loops of his narrative and game
with discrete objects, events and relationships strung and structured
catch me when they are prominent. I'm not crazy about their projects
when he drifts towards conventional narrative as it does here and outside
from engaging in conceptual game.

This is more like "cartoonist of the contract" or even "Cook Thief"
their films more complex, so many people like her. His
also its most beautiful film since he lost his time filmmaker.

If you do not know this film is a simple cap: Rembrandt on its
creating a painting with depth, as Greenaway-meaning. The filmmaker
going to great lengths to make the visually its relationship with the film is similar to
with Rembrandt painting, and, therefore, we sometimes in
because what we see and hear (in large detail) viewers that
painting react. And punish our painter like the filmmaker has been
.

along wires is not a touching story - not only in
Greenaway - a man and his passion, and women, then women who loves
. And how passion and love, creativity and cover each other
and unity that the energy of life that artists have to use to break
mountains ahead of us so that we can move on. His

women here. It is always allow the lovers of creativity, which
grow and channel. There is no actual penetration of life without
, and the night that brings. Only in the narrative line alone, his
powerful. It works. All this works, and could be a play
success for a wider audience than usual.

All three are redheads lovers, of course.

Ted's evaluation - 3 of 3: It is worth seeing.
