The Christophers

Julian Sklar was once a star of London’s 1960s and ’70s pop art explosion, but he hasn’t painted in decades and has been broke for years. His two estranged children, desperate for an inheritance, hire Lori, an art restorer and former forger, to pose as a prospective assistant in order to access eight unfinished canvases Julian has buried deep in storage. The plan: Complete the canvases and then return them to storage – where they’ll be “discovered” upon Julian’s death.

Directed by the incomparable Steven Soderbergh and boasting a star-studded cast made up of Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, James Corden, and Jessica Gunning, The Christophers is a witty and probing interrogation of what truly determines the value of art.
