But a freedom Tim’s Vermeer --- Watching paint dry has never been more fascinating than it is in “Tim’s Vermeer,” a documentary produced by the magicians Penn & Teller. In his feature debut, Teller directs this account of how inventor Tim Jenison labored to recreate a Vermeer painting. In order to prove that Johannes Vermeer (the 17th-century Dutch Master behind works like “Girl with a Pearl Ear- ring”) achieved his near-photo-realistic effects with the aid of technology, Jenison experimented with simple machine designs to find a functional one. The answer, as Jenison sees it, is a type of camera ob- scura that would have allowed Vermeer to painstakingly paint over a mirrored image of a live tableau. The movie has its elements of suspense: Will the achingly slow process break Jenison mentally, and can a complete amateur at painting produce a work comparable to that of Vermeer? That latter question explains the great offense taken by many art experts: Wouldn’t such a method turn their old master into something of a fraud? Teller and his magician partner Penn Jillette (who serves as narra- tor and onscreen presence) round up some celebrated folks sympathetic to Jenison’s point of view. The only real knock against “Tim’s Vermeer” is that it has the feel of a television documentary. But the film earns its keep by being informative and briskly OPENING IN APRIL entertaining. Rated PG-13 for some strong language. One hour, 20 minutes. — P.C.
