The 2019 documentary My Rembrandt, available for streaming, is less a film about the iconic 17th century Dutch painter of the film s title than it is an acute, often fascinating and occasionally puzzling rumination on aspects of the other titular word â my.
One lesson of the film, ably helmed by director Oeke Hoogendijk, is that to love an artist s work is to possess it, whether physically, intellectually, emotionally or any combination thereof â including, perhaps, corruptly. Passion for an artist s work comes in many forms.
Hoogendijk knows her way around Dutch Golden Age painting and today s complicated cultural landscape, having spent a decade documenting the renovation and expansion of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam s incomparable repository. The success of that much-admired earlier film likely gave her unusual access to the art-world elite who open up in My Rembrandt.
