THE DRAUGHTSMAN'S CONTRACT

This movie is about a draughtsman who is hired to draw the house and garden (Groombridge Place) of the Herbert family, but get drawn into a conspiracy of murder and greed. The film produces a fantastic picture of the gardening philosophy in the 17th century, but in the end also gives a hint of what is going to be thought afterwards, in the beginning og the 18th century. The movie is full of beautiful scenes, and is full of art references as Caravaggio, Rembrandt and Vermeer.
