“Just because you have eyes does not mean you can see,” challenges the great director-contrarian Peter Greenaway in this cine-essay, which reveals the mysteries hidden in plain sight in one of the most famous paintings of all time, Rembrandt's The Night Watch. Where most see only a great work of art, Greenaway dissects the Dutch masterpiece to uncover an indictment, a conspiracy, and a murder mystery sweeping across the ruling elites of Amsterdam's Golden Age. Hosting the proceedings like a well-mannered twenty-first-century judge, Greenaway “investigates” each of the painting's thirty-four characters, their poses and costumes, as well as the picture's setting and lighting, to discover clues to Rembrandt's fascinating take on, and indictment of, the power struggles of seventeenth-century Amsterdam. In the process, Greenaway moves far beyond narrative and documentary filmmaking (further beyond his already out-there early works like Drowning by Numbers or The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover) to level his own j'accuse at contemporary visual illiteracy. With actors (including Martin Freeman of British TV's The Office) restaging certain scenes and Greenaway's clever intellectual side notes and diversions (the development of candle making in relationship to painting aesthetics, for instance), Rembrandt's J'Accuse will change how you view art, and the world.
