This behind-the-scenes documentary follows the curators at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam as they put together the largest Vermeer exhibition ever attempted. “In a world of ‘hot takes’ and uninformed ‘takedowns,’ where expertise is increasingly de-valued across the board, the experts in Close to Vermeer are a comforting bunch. They know a lot, they share what they know, and they help us to not just look at a Vermeer, but to see.” — Sheila O’Malley, Roger Ebert “Following curators Gregor Weber and Pieter Roelofs, and conservators Abbie Vandivere and Anna Krekeier, [the film] literally lets you see the artist’s works more closely than you are likely ever to have done before… The results will change the way you think about Vermeer forever.” — Jennie Kermode, Eye for Film
