National Gallery

National Gallery Movie Poster

This film takes the audience behind the scenes of a London institution, on a journey to the heart of a museum inhabited by masterpieces of Western art from the Middle Ages to the 19th Century. This documentary is the portrait of a place, its way of working and relations with the world, its staff and public, and its paintings.

In a perpetual and dizzying game of mirrors, film watches painting watches film.

Director: Frederick Wiseman
Producer(s): Pierre-Olivier Bardet, Frederick Wiseman
