Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

No film captures an individual’s moving encounter with a work of art better than this charmer, directed by John Hughes and starring Matthew Broderick. Taking two friends with him around Chicago while playing hooky from school, Ferris goes the Chicago Institute of Art. His friend Cameron, played by Alan Ruck is immobilized in front of the pointillist painter Georges Seurat’s large painting “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte” from 1884. The camera goes back and forth between Cameron’s face and the child at the center of the painting until his big blue eyes shimmer with tears and the little girl dissolves into dots of paint. Lovely!
