A recorded, in-person Q&A with Ian McKellen, Jessica Gunning, and the film’s producers will follow this screening (+22 mins).
Once celebrated as one of London’s most provocative artists, Julian Sklar (Ian McKellen) now lives in eccentric isolation, surrounded by decades of unfinished work and a fading legend. When his estranged children recruit Lori (Michaela Coel), a gifted young painter and occasional forger, to infiltrate his world and secure their inheritance, hidden masterpieces, family tensions, and questions of artistic integrity begin to surface.
