What role does the artist play in society, and what obligations does society have toward the arts? These are a few of the questions in this 1936 biopic of the great artist Rembrandt. Charles Laughton, in the titular role, plays Amsterdam’s most beloved painter and harshest social critic as he grapples with misfortune and ostracism. Directed by Alexander Korda. (1936, 85 min.
