J'Accuse is an essayistic documentary in which Greenaway's fierce criticism of today's visual illiteracy is argued by means of a forensic search of Rembrandt's Nightwatch. Greenaway explains the background, the context, the conspiracy, the murder and the motives of all its 34 painted characters who have conspired to kill for their combined self-advantage. Greenaway leads us through Rembrandt's paintings into 17th century Amsterdam. He paints a world that is democratic in principle, but is almost entirely ruled by twelve families. The notion exists of these regents as charitable and compassionate beings. But reality was different.

    It's just criminal that his complete works are not readily available in DVD format. And meanwhile, comic book adaptation film sequel umpteen just keeps crappin' on.

    Your loss ... but then again just as you cannot make a horse drink water ... you cannot impose good taste or culture either. Orsen Welles was often loathed by those who sought to control his work both within Hollywood and otherwise. to quote Welles 'Like Sir, like? Who in their right minds would actively seek to have their work 'liked' I'd rather be despised for the right reasons than liked for the wrong one'

    I like to hear Greenaway talk about art and movies, and I like most of his shorts. But Oh G^d do I loathe this man's feature work!
