WIM WENDERS first met the legendary maverick director NICHOLAS RAY when he cast him in The American Friend. Their friendship developed and when it became clear that Ray's cancer was terminal, he agreed to make a film with his young director friend. What transpired now stands as a tribute to a great filmmaker and one of Wim Wenders' most personal films.

From Peter Greenaway, one of the most inventive, ambitious and controversial film-makers of our time, comes a thrilling period drama, told in explicit detail with customary irony and wit, that explores the romantic and professional life of the great Dutch painter Rembrandt, and the mystery surrounding the creation of his 1642 masterpiece, 'The Night Watch'.

In 1989, WIM WENDERS was commissioned by the Centre Georges Pompidou to make a film about fashion and its place in contemporary society. Initially bemused by the offer, the award-winning director chose to focus on a designer whose work he was both familiar with and felt comfortable in, Yohji Yamamoto.
