The art world can be ruthless, but in The Gallerist, one gallery owner is about to take things to an entirely different level. Set against the extravagant backdrop of Art Basel Miami, this comedy-drama follows an ambitious woman fighting to maintain her place among the art world’s elite while dealing with a messy separation and growing financial problems.
Natalie Portman stars as Polina Polinski, a gallery owner desperate to make her mark with her debut exhibition. When an accidental death presents an unexpected opportunity, she conspires to pass off the corpse as the centerpiece of her show. What begins as a desperate attempt to save her career quickly becomes an outrageous scheme involving deception, celebrity spectacle, and mounting chaos.
With social media influencers and the police closing in, Polina finds herself caught in a race against time. Her plan could make her famous, land her in prison, or perhaps accomplish both.
Directed by Cathy Yan, who co-wrote the screenplay with James Pedersen, The Gallerist features an impressive ensemble cast led by Portman and Jenna Ortega.
