“An auctioneer is like a plastic surgeon. You have to put your trust in him.” So begins Pascal Bonitzer<\/strong>‘s exquisite jewel of a film, Auction<\/em><\/strong>. Like a fine-cut diamond, with sharp, clean edges and meticulously-crafted from every angle, the film plunges us into the slick art world of the City of Light. Celebrated auctioneer and modern art specialist Andr\u00e9 Masson receives a letter stating that a painting \u2014 potentially by Egon Schiele \u2014 has been found in the dreary French city of Mulhouse, on the border of Germany. The masterwork has been missing since 1939, when it was confiscated by the Nazis, and has been stumbled upon in the home of young factory worker Martin Keller and his ailing mother. Based on a true story, that discovery upends the lives of both men. Brilliantly written, brought to life with elegant precision by a superb cast, and packing an enormous emotional punch at its climax, Auction<\/em> may just turn out to be Bonitzer’s masterwork, as well.<\/p>\n

Incredibly prolific film critic-turned-actor-turned-filmmaker, Pascal Bonitzer has appeared in 36 films, written or contributed to 61 screenplays, and directed nine feature films. He has written scripts for several of his Cahier du Cin\u00e9ma<\/em> colleagues, including Andr\u00e9 T\u00e9chine’s The Bront\u00e9 Sisters<\/em> (1979), The Scene of the Crime<\/em> (1985) and The Innocents<\/em> (1987); and Jacques Rivette’s Love on the Ground<\/em> (1984), La Belle Noiseuse<\/em> (1991) and Up, Down, Fragile<\/em> (1995). He has been nominated for two Best Screenplay C\u00e9sar Awards, for Andr\u00e9 T\u00e9chin\u00e9’s My Favorite Season<\/em> (1994) and Anne Fontaine’s The Innocents<\/em> (COLCOA Audience Award-winner 2017). He wrote and directed his first short, Les Sir\u00e8nes<\/em>, in 1989, and his first feature, Encore<\/em> (1996) won the coveted Prix Jean Vigo and was nominated for a C\u00e9sar Award for Best First Film. Subsequent features include Nothing About Robert<\/em> (1999), Petites coupures<\/em> (2003), Je pense \u00e0 vous<\/em> (2006), The Great Alibi<\/em> (2008), Looking for Hortense<\/em> (2012), Right Here Right Now<\/em> (2016) and Spellbound<\/em> (2019).<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/auction.jpg” image_size=”full” frame_style=”gray_border” align=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
