National Gallery
Considered the most important living documentary filmmaker in the US, Frederick Wiseman infiltrates the depths of the National Gallery in London, housing one of the greatest collections of paintings in the world. Insightful and thorough, his latest film captures unorthodox museum tours, ambitious curators, bureaucratic nightmares, strenuous painting restorations and a parade of fine art masterpieces like you’ve never seen them before, composing a spherical and extremely insightful study on the role of museums, the value of art and the many ways it can be interpreted.
