Louvre City - Nicolas Philibert

The film will be introduced by director Nicolas Philibert on the 29th of November.

What does the Louvre look like when the public isn’t there?

For the first time, a major museum opens its doors behind the scenes to a film crew: kilometers of underground galleries, workshops, storage areas housing thousands of paintings, sculptures, and artifacts, and areas off-limits to the public… Little by little, characters appear, multiply, and cross paths to weave the threads of a story: paintings are hung, rooms are rearranged, works are moved, and the guards try on their new uniforms…

A film where the everyday and the extraordinary, the mundane and the sublime, the comical and the dreamlike intertwine. The discovery of a veritable city within a city.
