AD/Dordtenaar: "...this far-fetched approach to interpreting the painting miraculously does work..."
Rembrandt's Night Watch has enchanted and intrigued its audience for nearly 400 years. An undisputed masterpiece by one of the greatest painters of all time. Journalist Coen Verbraak talks to the main characters of the famous painting. Who are those people on that imposing canvas? The captain, the lieutenant, the standard-bearer, the drummer, the golden girl: they all come to his table. Rembrandt(Ramsey Nasr), the master himself, also talks about his life and the circumstances under which his most important work was created.
Theu Boermans had his actors learn very well about the 17th century and then allowed them a lot of freedom to improvise.
