Inside the Uffizi (German: In den Uffizien) is a 2021 German documentary film about the Uffizi museum in Florence. It was directed by Corinna Belz and Enrique Sánchez Lansch.
Synopsis
The film covers the Uffizi, a museum in Florence with more than 500 rooms, based on the House of Medici's collection of paintings.[1] Attention is given to the institution's staff, including Eike Schmidt, a German art historian who became its director in 2015.[2]
Production
Filming took place during a total of 50 days over a period of 2 years.[3]
Release
Inside the Uffizi was released in Germany on 25 November 2021.[1]
Reception
Birgit Rieger of Der Tagesspiegel compared Inside the Uffizi to Gerhard Richter Painting, a film by Belz from 2011, and contrasted the distance with which the Uffizi personnel is portrayed to the intimacy of the previous film.[2] Simon Hauck of Kino-Zeit said Inside the Uffizi contains joy and fascination, has the form of an "art-film essay" and in its best moments "also functions as a documentary meta-film about the desire to look at oneself in the shadow of history and turbo-technology since the turn of the millennium".[4]
Inside the Uffizi was nominated for the German Film Award for Best Sound.[5]
