Rembrandt's Christ
Drawings of the Life of Christ
More penetrating and demanding than a simple celebration of Rembrandt's drawings (though it is certainly that too), yet more imaginative and poetic than any formal study of the artist's graphic work, this film takes the form of a seamless sequence of images choreographed to the specially composed music of Henry Barraud. The central theme is provided by Rembrandt's depictions of Christ, which have never before been gathered together in this way; 160 drawings from sixty-two collections in twelve countries were drawn upon for the film. Rembrandt is shown to be one of the great geniuses of graphic art.
`Of universal interest ... penetrates very deeply ... the mystery of creative activity in an artist of genius. And the result is a masterly film, which can, like a poem by Andrew Marvell or a sonata by Scarlatti, bear endless repetition, each time yielding something fresh and valuable to the spirit.' Arts Review, London
`An extremely important work in the history of film ... an aesthetic work as an end in itself ... the spectator will feel extraordinarily enriched by deep thought and new ideas'.
From the book Christo nel Mondo, Assisi
