Der Illusionist
2023, German. Directed by Birgit Schulz.
A dazzling picture of the world's most successful art dealer: Helge Achenbach. When he forges invoices and calls the result a "collage", he falls into a deep slump. At the same time, the film is a grotesque about the development of the art market into a speculative exchange - driven by greed, a thirst for recognition and the grand illusion that the value of a painting can be measured by its price.
