What the audience said:

…a wonderful and intimate insight into The Hermitage…

…It made the Hermitage seem an independent state within a state, miraculously surviving war and changes of regime, fire and tempest….

…I was full of admiration for Kinmonth’s filmmaking – from having the wandering perspective of the little boy, the emotion created by the way the camera moved and swirled, to the clear rapport she had with all the interviewees…

…I was knocked out by the access, the people, the story, just the whole thing…

…must have walked miles making it…the marching band was fab…

…the great hero of the film was Larissa Haskell, Hermitage curator of Venetian art, who describes with great vividness how her family had to eat, first, her father’s belt, and then, the family cat during the privations of the second world war…
