For DOC, two unmissable films: a journey inside the National Gallery and Noam Chomsky interviewed by Michel Gondry.

Cinema Massimo – from 5 to 18 July 2015 – Screen Three

This customary rendez-vous with documentary cinema is offering two films that differ a lot from each other for ending its season, but that are linked by their common wish to illustrate the modern world of art and philosophical thought, by means of illustrious examples.

Two documentaries about two cultural “institutions”, shot by directors who are just as important and identifiable. On the one hand, is the journey filmed by Wiseman inside the National Gallery, the London museum which holds immensely valuable paintings and artworks; on the other, is philosopher Noam Chomsky interviewed by Michel Gondry, with whom he faces the main themes of his life and his theories. Admission 6.00/4.00/3.00 euro for Is the Man Who Is Tall Happy? Admission 7.50/5.00/4.00 euro for National Gallery.
