Sinekatalog’s take
An American painter in 1920s Paris drinks, schemes and chases love among the expatriate crowd. The film is stylish and jazzy, with a witty feel for art-world forgery. An offbeat period comedy for fans of bohemian atmosphere.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
