The Christophers

A mainstay of the London art scene since his starry breakout in the creative

explosion of the 1960’s, Julian Sklar (Ian McKellen) has drifted into a cluttered, selfimposed seclusion. His two estranged children (James Corden, Jessica Gunning)

enlist Lori (Michaela Coel), a young painter and sometime-forger, to pose as a

prospective assistant and gain access to a fabled series of unfinished canvases Julian

has buried deep in his home studio, in a deceptive bid to secure an inheritance for

themselves.

A film by Steven Soderbergh.

Starring Ian McKellen & Michaela Coel.

"Terrifically exhilarating and funny, as bracing as a large vodka and tonic before lunch: fast, literate and funny with a key plot progression elliptically and unsentimentally managed." Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
