So, 'Constable: A Country Rebel' is a pretty intriguing dive into the life and work of John Constable, especially if you think you know his stuff. The documentary, directed by Spike Geilinger, does a nice job of unraveling the layers behind 'The Haywain.' It's not just about the charming rural scenes; it's how Constable's work pushed against the norms of his time. Alastair Sooke’s narration brings a real sense of discovery, and you can feel the passion for the subject. The pacing feels thoughtful, allowing moments to breathe, which is a nice change from the usual fast cuts in modern docs. It’s a rich exploration that really captures the essence of Constable's world. Worth a watch if you're into art history.
