The Moderns (1988)
Country: US
Technical: col 126m
Director: Alan Rudolph
Cast: Keith Carradine, Linda Fiorentino, Genevieve Bujold, Geraldine Chaplin
Synopsis:
Paris, 1926: the lives of a number of Americans connected in one way or another with the art world collide when an artist copies three paintings and rediscovers his lost wife.
Review:
The theme of forgery of course occasions various analogies on human behaviour and the medium itself (forgery, appearance/reality, etc.) and the film is at times too stylish for its own good. The atmosphere, however, whether or not true to life, is marvellously caught, the art stuff fascinating, and the acting as classy as one would expect from this stable.
