The Christophers New Official Movie Trailer - What is the value of art? Does it reside in personal expression? Cultural longevity? Financial worth? These questions fuel this gloriously entertaining comedy, directed by Steven Soderbergh and written by Ed Solomon.

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, self-imposed seclusion. His two estranged children 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.

00:01It's been a while since I interviewed an assistant.
00:05Sure.
00:06Tell me about yourself.
00:07For now, I'll take. I am a woman and I don't hate you, Julian.
00:13Everybody knows what one original Julian's scarf is worth.
00:17It's Junior.
00:18This way.
00:20You said this was a restoration job.
00:23It's a forgery job.
00:25No, no, no, no.
00:26All we're trying to get you to do is merely complete them.
00:30By forging them.
00:30By forging through them.
00:33This isn't about the unfinished Christopher, is it?
00:37There shall be burned.
00:38At the crack of noon.
00:40I am not going back there.
00:43We'll give you 10,000 pounds.
00:44The answer is no.
00:46Oh, come on, mate.

00:50Other door.
00:55I don't think you want to do this.
00:58Have you ever been betrayed?
01:01I had a partner who left me for my other partner.
01:04I was once in a struggle.
01:06Back when it was merely called infidelity.
01:12I've been telling myself lies my whole life.
01:19That's where the art of it comes in.
01:21Take that!
01:23You win, you win.
01:28The art of what?
01:33Becoming someone else.
01:37It's almost worth staying alive for.
01:43Who's is this?
01:45It's mine, sir.
01:46It's absolute shit.
