Schalcken the Painter (1979 TV Movie)
10/10
It's not lost
29 September 2022
I don't understand the comments about this being a lost masterpiece. It is a masterpiece of course but £13.59 gets you the DVD from Amazon! Hardly "lost".

This is superbly atmospheric and all render their parts superbly. A little gem of a ghost story, the level of detail concerning the style, method and technique of Dutch painting at this period is most impressive. John Justine is made up to look deeply unattractive and Clyde's character, whilst ostensibly the hero, is far from loveable. Also so good to see the wonderful Maurice Denham proving to still be such good value so late in his career.
