In Dutch Darkness we watch scenes that were often employed in Dutch paintings during the Golden Era. There is a woman at her writing table. Her maid cleans the house. There are vegetables and game arranged in the kitchen ready for cooking. But all the time there is a tension. Why is one door locked? Shot is pixilation this film tries to upset the placid and perfect setting which Dutch painting sought to achieve. It reveals the dark secret behind the Dutch Golden Era.
