Robert De Niro unveiled the first teaser for a new documentary he’s making about his late father during a Cannes Film Festival conversation on Wednesday. The clip featured stunning blown-up photos of De Niro’s father, a painter who died in 1993, placed around New York City — including on a boat in the harbor — as well as an appearance by Martin Scorsese.
