[IN DEN UFFIZIEN]
Home to priceless Renaissance artworks by Sandro Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Albrecht Dürer, Raphael, Titian, Caravaggio, Artemisia Gentileschi and Rembrandt, the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, welcomes millions of visitors each year. Adopting an immersive, observational style reminiscent of Frederick Wiseman, Corinna Belz and Enrique Sánchez Lansch's exquisite documentary investigates this one-of-a-kind museum, along with its dedicated staff and passionate patrons. Led by the erudite German director Eike Schmidt, the Uffizi's curators, conservators, architects, carpenters, custodians, concierges and docents work tirelessly to preserve and present the museum's treasures to a non-stop parade of visitors from all over the world. As they navigate challenges of all shapes and sizes, the picture that emerges is one of transnational cooperation and connection with audiences across all ages and nationalities. DIR/SCR Corinna Belz, Enrique Sánchez Lansch; PROD Thomas Kufus. Germany, 2021, color, 96 min. In English, Italian and German with English subtitles. NOT RATED
