Jodhi May,Fiona O'Shaughnessy,Emily Holmes in Nightwatching (2007)
Rembrandt's painting "The Night Watch" provides the key inspiration for cinematic enfant terrible Peter Greenaway's visually lavish and challenging period drama. After the 17th-century master (Martin Freeman) is commissioned to complete a work depicting the Amsterdam Civil Guard, one of the band is bafflingly killed, an act that leads Rembrandt to not-so-subtly indict his clients through his brush strokes. With Emily Holmes, Eva Birthistle. 135 min.
