- Synopsis:
"My Rembrandt" is set in the world of the Old Masters and offers a mosaic of gripping stories in which unrestrained passion for Rembrandt's paintings leads to dramatic developments and unexpected plot turns. While art collectors such as Eijk and Rose-Marie de Mol van Otterloo, the American Thomas Kaplan and the Scottish Duke of Buccleuch show us their special connection with 'their' Rembrandt, French baron Eric de Rothschild puts two Rembrandts up for sale, triggering a hard political battle between the Rijksmuseum and the Louvre. The film also follows aristocratic Dutch art dealer Jan Six as he seems to be on the trail of not just one but two 'new' Rembrandt paintings. This nerve-wracking journey of discovery seems to be the realisation of his biggest boyhood dream. - Actors:

It's Nice to Be Rich - My Rembrandt review by JP
I enjoyed this film which reveals where some of Rembrandt 's works are housed. Many, not surprisingly, reside in the homes of the uber rich of the world. It's a good documentary and also shows us that one billionaire likes to share his treasures with us less fortunate beings.

Lifeless and unsympathetically drawn - My Rembrandt review by AER
Although it's interesting to learn about the journey of Golden Age Rembrandt paintings in private collections, this documentary has no inner-life and didn't really enlighten me. It had fleeting moments of interest like the sections where the restorations and authentication tests were taking place, however, the constant preening of Jan Six dominated the documentary and all the money-grabbing controversy coverage was off-putting. More interesting were the philanthropists and the potential war between the Rijks and the Louvre when a pair of rare pieces came up for sale. It was a bit of a trudge as the drama was there, it's just the spotlight was cast upon the most uninteresting of the subjects. You could almost forget the focus of the documentary was supposed to be on Rembrandt and his art, and not the creepy, simpering Jan Six.
2 out of 10 - An expose of back-stabbing art-dealers in Amsterdam and beyond that focuses on ugly people and not beautiful paintings.
