Still no buzz?


All I can find so far is a brief synopsis. http://blogs.artinfo.com/cuttingroom/2012/12/10/peter-greenaway-plans- film-about-brancu%C8%99is-epic-walk/

This movie is based on the exploits of the Dutch painter and engraver Hendrik Goltzius (1558-1617). Played by Ramsey Nasr, Goltzius tempts the Margrave of Alsace (F. Murray Abraham) to pay for a printing press to publish his erotic illustrated books, including one dedicated to stories from the Old Testament. The Margrave is especially enticed by Goltzius and his company’s mounting of dramatized versions of these stories for his court.

“Goltzius” is the second film in Greenaway’s “Dutch Masters” series. The first, “Nightwatching” (2007), is about Rembrandt’s creation of “The Night Watch.” (I reviewed the associated documentary, “Rembrandt’s J’Accuse,” here.) The third film in the series is intended to coincide with the 500th anniversary of Hieronymous Bosch’s death in 2016.
