Review of National Gallery (2014) by Hans M — 18 Jan 2015

For those who enjoy the experience of visiting art museums, National.

Gallery' is a must-see. The brilliant objectivist documentarian.

Frederick Wiseman captures the iconic British museum from every side.

Imaginable. Over the course of three hours, he offers a grand glimpse.

Of the museum's collection and temporary exhibits as others look or.

Discuss them, from art historians to tour guides. Fixed history and.

Interpretation are celebrated in both Wiseman's camera and the loosely.

Strung scenes of people in the exhibition halls. The movie cuts to.

Various perspectives of the museum, from details of paintings to entire.

Galleries, as people gaze at works. But Wiseman also captures the.

People operating the museums during PR and budget meetings and, most.

Intriguingly, at work restoring paintings. No one looks at the camera.

To explain their work and Wiseman never even uses superimposed title.

Cards, yet you will come away enlightened.
