Review by unofficial reviewer
Fascinating documentary about the theory that Vermeer used an optical system to paint, which explains how his paintings were so realistic and detailed unlike any other of his contemporaries.
Tim Jenison, the mind behind this theory, never painted before yet was able to paint a good "Vermeer" by using his technique. What I found so interesting is that he also found optical flaws in the Vermeer that he was reproducing that truly indicate the use of a similar system by the old master. Super interesting film if you are into art or science.
