Much more than a museum tour, Frederick Wiseman's new 3-hour documentary 'National Gallery' exposes all the nitty-gritty workings of a hallowed institution.
The artful film is set in London's Trafalgar Square, where the National Gallery serves as an intersection of commerce, art consumption, political protest, and pleasure.
The movie is "about art and process, money and mystery, and all the many, many people gazing and gawking...," writes the New York Times.
