A mainstay of the London art scene since his starry breakout in the creative explosion of the 1960’s, Julian Sklar has drifted into a cluttered, self-imposed seclusion. His two estranged children enlist Lori, a young painter and sometime-forger, to pose as a prospective assistant and gain access to a fabled series of unfinished canvases Julian has buried deep in his home studio, in a deceptive bid to secure an inheritance for themselves.
A sharp, smart, and gloriously entertaining comedy about creativity, legacy and avarice, directed by Steven Soderbergh and written by Ed Solomon. Starring the legendary Ian McKellen and I May Destroy You star Michaela Coel, alongside James Corden and Jessica Gunning.
