Delve into the intricate relationships between Rembrandt's masterpieces and the dealers, historians, and collectors whose lives have been forever transformed by his work. Extraordinary collectors like Eijk and Rose-Marie De Mol van Otterloo, Thomas Kaplan, and the Scottish Duke of Buccleuch, each share their unique bond with Rembrandt and offer captivating insights into the depths of human nature – both its virtues and its flaws. What do these paintings truly mean to these collectors? Are they merely status symbols, cultural artifacts, or enigmatic puzzles waiting to be unraveled? Or could they possess a more profound and intimate power? MY REMBRANDT is a captivating exploration of the legacy left behind by a masterful artist and the impact it has on the lives of those touched by his work. It's a film that provokes introspection, questioning our own motivations and our ever-evolving connection to art. "A masterfully crafted documentary that brings us close to the protagonists and art lovers in a fascinating way, and takes us into the captivating world of art collecting and buying. Even art critics are encouraged by this documentary to understand why certain paintings evoke such an enthusiastic and emotional response in us. In addition, the film quickly conveys Rembrandt's painting style and its unmistakable characteristics. Even I was able to identify a Rembrandt painting from a distance the next time I visited the museum!" (Sooner curator Ayla Yildiz)
