In Reply to: "Rembrandt's J'Accuse": Greenaway dissects The Night Watch posted by mr grits on June 20, 2011 at 20:33:17:
I think this film, or perhaps "The Cook, the Thief..." was the one that prompted my wife to insist "No more Greenaway films".
But I did find it fascinating and intellectually stimulating. Greenaway is one of a kind, and his films are definitely not for everyone. He knows what he wants to do, and does exactly that. Got to admire him.
BTW, for some reason my wife liked "The Draughtsman's Contract", so I rented more, but none of his other films did a thing for her.
