This is a spiffy movie directed by Alan Rudolph starring a wonderful cast including Keith Carradine, Linda Fiorentio, Genevieve Bujold, Geraldine Chaplin, Wallace Shawn, Kevin O’Connor, and John Lone. Although set in Paris in the 1920s, the story has relevance to our time with its insight into urban living, amorality, power, sexual politics, greed, and art as a commodity. Among the most colorful characters are a struggling artist who duplicates a Matisse, a Cezanne, and a Modigliani; a gossip columnist who finds a way to get the whole city talking about him; and a flighty, beautiful woman who refuses to be pinned down. Fans of Alan Rudolph’s distinctive storytelling will find that this film is right on the money.
