Synopsis
In 17th century Amsterdam, Rembrandt's painting Nightwatch features 34 characters, each with their own motives. Peter Greenaway investigates their roles in a conspiracy tied to murder and self-interest. He argues against modern visual illiteracy while detailing the political dynamics of the time. Twelve families dominated the city, presenting themselves as benevolent leaders. Greenaway contrasts this image with the darker truths behind their power. The film runs for 100 minutes and combines art with crime analysis.
