Rating: 3/5 -- If you're aware of Peter Greenaway's work you'll know to expect luscious visuals, plenteous sex and nudity, and a certain degree of impenetrability Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- Martin Freeman's chippy, cocky artist is riveting, as tender to dying wife Saskia (a knowing Eve Birthistle) as he is tricky with his militia patrons... Full Review

... the entire film is designed to look like a Rembrandt canvas, right down to the careful composition of the players within the frame. Full Review

Product Description:

Provocative British director Peter Greenaway returns to form with his 2007 film NIGHTWATCHING. The intellectual whodunit follows legendary Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn (Martin Freeman, best known as Tim in the British version of THE OFFICE) as he uncovers a murder-mystery while painting his masterpiece "The Night Watch." When his investigation reveals a dangerous conspiracy that could ruin him and his family, Rembrandt decides to hide clues to the crime within the artwork itself. Like an arthouse THE DA VINCI CODE, NIGHTWATCHING finds Greenaway exploring his signature theme of the meaning of art in the neoclassical style that marked his early films such as THE BELLY OF AN ARCHITECT and THE DRAUGHTSMAN'S CONTRACT.

Product Description:

At the insistence of his wife, the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt agrees to paint a group portrait of the Amsterdam Musketeer Militia. But before he can finish his newest masterpiece, he discovers a murder plot involving his subjects. Determined to expose the conspiracy, Rembrandt builds his accusation in the form of the commissioned painting – The Night Watch – a decision which costs him everything. Directed by Peter Greenaway and starring Martin Freeman, Emily Holmes, Jodhi May, Eva Birthistle and Toby Jones.
