Second in a five-part series,
first shown in 1976, on the life and work of Rembrandt.
The Rebel. Lord Clark explores Rembrandt's career as a rebel, and concludes that many of his pictures were meant to be shocking. Although he was the chosen portrait-painter of the Dutch middle class, Rembrandt "did not know how to keep his station, and always associated with the lower orders". He never let himself be distracted from the truth and the work he produced in protest against antique art and morality is still disturbing today.
Producer Colin Clark
Three films which take a journey through the rich musical heritage of Argentina.
In the vast regions from the plains of the Pampas to the provinces of the north, three distinct styles of music and dance evolved: the zamba, the chacarera and the chamame.
Their precise origins are lost, but they developed in the 19th century from pre-colonial dances and the instruments and music brought by the European settlers and their African slaves. These traditional styles are still the popular music of the whole of northern Argentina where some of the musicians are professional and some are workers who play at festivals and at the weekend, sometimes just for their own families.
(Part 3 is tomorrow at 8.45pm)

The short season of films by French director Bertrand Tavernier continues with the first showing on network television of his controversial latest film, La Guerre sans nom.
Tavernier and Patrick Rotman have filmed a series of extraordinary, moving interviews with some of the 2.7 million Frenchmen conscripted to fight in the Algerian War (1954-62). Regarded by the French government as a "peace-keeping action", this undeclared war caused more than one million deaths and brought France to the brink of civil war and military takeover. For many of the men interviewed, this was the only opportunity they have had in 30 years to talk about their experiences and the film illuminates the everyday experiences of young men whose lives were changed irrevocably by a war they had no power to influence. In French with English subtitles, this film runs for almost four hours.
