UK/English/2025/120 min

American historian and author Jonathan Petropoulos forms an uneasy relationship with his sly-as-a-fox subject, an unrepentant player in the international art world who evaded punishment for stealing countless masterpieces from prominent Jewish families during World War II. An engaging sleuth, Petropoulos investigates the life of Hermann Göring’s art agent in Paris, Bruno Lohse. The film includes interviews with Lohse over the course of several years, as well as his associates, curators, art investigators, and descendants of the victims of Nazi art theft. Full of shocking surprises, the film reveals the connections that perpetrators like Lohse had, not only in Europe, but also with the Monuments Men, American museums, and the American art market.
