Das große Museum (2014)
a great insight into the inner workings
Did you ever want to pull on an invisibility cloak and creep into the inner workings of a big museum? This film allows you to do so. A documentary without a single voice over we watch somebody to hack the ancient parquet floor into pieces and only later learn that a part of the museum rooms are severely redecorated when the director of the museum shows around the visiting director of the British Museum in the half-finished new rooms. Bring some patience when watching two ladies switching around the hanging order of some portraits again and again – I for once need to be in the right mood for this kind of movie. But when I am, it is a great experience. Still not sure if this film is for you? Check out the trailer, it gives a good feel for the movie.

Locations and Farmers
The movie is like a fairytale, so children of the right age will like it. What I don't like about the movie is the way it butchers cities. It shall play in Paris and Vienna? All I can see is Budapest - which is a beautiful city too, by the way. But why claiming to be somewhere else and then showing pictures of Budapest's world famous Parliament house and suspension bridge? And while they inserted shots of the Eiffel tower and the Arc de triumph of Paris, I didn't see a single picture of any sight in Vienna. The second thing I really didn't like was the way the farmers "40 km outside of Vienna" were depicted. The whole set reminded me more of the museum of mountain farmers in the 19th century "Peter Roseggers Waldheimat" then of my uncles farm which is situated 60 km outside of Vienna.
