Deniro's look as he sees one of the dead son's paintings. The wires. The look as seems to have got the 'connection', the film is really about 'lack of'. No dialogues spoken. Just letting the master do his thing, without bringing much attention. That's the character, not one of his acting ticks. Apart from Jack Nicholson, we don't get such moments from 70's greats these days. Nice to see Deniro back to form here. Pacino, from days of 'Scarecrow' and DDA, lags behind both in that respect.
...an artist without an art.
