s r @ScottR 09/02/2020 Insightful to the painter, but not much else besides good acting, if you like Laughton. See more 12/27/2016 A decent biopic of the artist that focuses primarily of the poor reception his work received in his day and his difficulties making a living. It's fairly routine fare elevated by Laughton's magnificent performance. See more 03/16/2016 Rembrandt 1936. This film begins at his height as an artist and covers his downfall. This film focuses on his relationships and debt but really starts without the explanation to where he came from, It does not go into his artistic technics, nor his love for collecting foreign objects. Many of the scenes in this film are posed to look like Rembrandt paintings. I like the shadows and lighting in this film for night scenes and inside buildings. Rembrandt liked to paint the poor and render their flaws. He preferred to draw them as they were as people rather than painting them idealized. See more 07/15/2014 A beautiful forgotten gem, made all the more special by Charles Laughton's magnetic bravado. See more 02/18/2014 Charles Laughton is wonderful in this role. It's a true masterpiece from start to finish. See more 10/14/2012 Charles Laughton has been great in every film I've seen him in, and that's no exception in this, the earliest of his roles I have watched. It must be one of the first biopics, keeping to what is now a tried and tested formula, and whilst the film is somewhat unimaginative and quite dated, Laughton's performance and Rembrandt's interesting life make this worth a look.
