And it wouldn't hurt to have more movies that are intellectual rather than sensational. Therefore, I am delighted to find Nightwatching on the shelf at Premiere Video in my M-Street neighborhood in Dallas, Texas. Nightwatching is a visual delight. The sets, the costumes, the way the scenes are lighted in the manner of Rembrandt's own paintings, all these elements of this movie were delightful to me. And Martin Freeman's acting made Rembrandt's character leap right off the screen into my heart. Although this is not a film that could ever be a commercial success, I thank Peter Greenaway and his collaborators from the bottom of my heart for making it. I will view it again the next time my eyes want to be happy. In my opinion the world needs more movies about the 17th century.
