A scholarly yet broadly accessible illustrated lecture by British auteur Peter Greenaway, this film is an enthralling docudrama that examines the Dutch master's most famous painting, "The Night Watch," for proof that it was responsible for his dramatic fall from grace. A companion-piece to Greenaway's NIGHTWATCHING (AFI's 2008 EU Film Showcase), this film brims with juicy conspiracy theories and forensic investigations worthy of top-tier TV crime drama.
