The Last Da Vinci
Directed by Nadav Kander
Insight
When you're not allowed to see something, you're compelled to want to see it even more.
Idea
Don't show the artwork, show the reaction of people seeing it for the first time.
Execution
A slow montage of people reacting to the new Da Vinci painting at Christies.
Notes
Love the concept behind this simple film. Like Jaws, the tension is built when you don't see the painting at all.
