The collection of Vienna’s Kunsthistorisches Museum sparks conversation and fosters a bond between a Canadian visitor (played by beloved singer Mary Margaret O’Hara) and a security guard (Bobby Sommer) in this contemplative, intimate film—a rare fiction feature in Cohen’s variegated oeuvre. Shot on a combination of 16mm and digital, "Museum Hours" embodies the filmmaker’s characteristic mingling of formats and artistic disciplines.
