REEL Thursdays: The Christophers
A saugaLIVE Presents Event in collaboration with the TIFF Film Circuit
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Steven Soderbergh (Traffic, Ocean's Eleven) and starring Ian McKellen (The Lord of the Rings, X-Men) and Michaela Coel (I May Destroy You, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), The Christophers is a witty and engaging comedy-drama about art, ambition and legacy.
After the death of renowned painter Julian Sklar, struggling art restorer Lori is enlisted by his estranged heirs to secretly complete and sell his unfinished works. Posing as Sklar's former assistant, she soon finds herself caught in a web of deception, competing interests and ethical dilemmas.
Smart, entertaining and richly character-driven, The Christophers explores the complicated relationship between creativity and commerce, and artistic legacy.
