ianc Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 We went to see this film last night, and I would urge you, should it be showing anywhere near you, to grab the opportunity. It's not a drama, it's a film about the pictures on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, with very helpful explanations and insights form staff of the Museum, and a British art critic. All tickets to view the paintings have been sold, which means that the place will be packed all day each day - but this film allows one to view each picture clearly and in great detail. I am not an art buff, but I found this 90 minute show to be insightful and beautiful, and Vermeer's technique for applying paint was truly amazing - no signs of brush marks or layering. I'm glad to say that our comparatively small theatre in Thame was full to capacity for this show. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
