My Rembrandt

Netherlands 2019 | 95 minutes | Dutch | Hebrew subtitles

Aristocrats cherish, experts rule, art dealers hunt, collectors crave and museums battle for Rembrandt. 350 years after the grand master of intimacy’s death, entire nations are more than ever obsessed with the his paintings, today, more than ever. Dutch director Oeke Hoogendijk, a guest of the Jerusalem Film Festival in 2014 with her spectacular documentary on the Rijksmuseum, embarked upon a journey to follow this incessant pursuit of Rembrandt and returned with a fascinating and suspenseful documentary. The film features a young and ambitious man named Jan Six the 11th, a Dutch art collector and descendant of a dynasty that was close to the artist. Six is convinced that he has discovered a new painting by the master.
