Schenectady JCC Film Festival Presents "Auction"
2024, 91 Min., France, French with English subtitles
Based on true events, hotshot opportunist wheeler-art dealer André Masson receives a letter concerning the discovery of a painting in a factory worker’s home in the suburbs on the Alsatian border. Said painting, by Austrian expressionist Egon Schiele, had been long assumed lost, condemned and destroyed as “degenerate art” by the Nazis in 1939. Masson’s first reaction is to believe that it can only be a copy. He decides to make the trip to examine it, and, against all odds, the painting turns out to be the masterpiece that has gone missing. This could undoubtedly be the turning point of his career, but after a brief investigation, he realizes that he has in his hands a looted work of art. Director: Pascal Bonitzer
