2023 · Film · ★ 6
Released in 2023, Der Illusionist is a documentary film directed by Birgit Schulz.
What it’s about. A dazzling picture of the world's most successful art dealer: Helge Achenbach. When he forges invoices and calls the result a "collage", he falls into a deep slump. At the same time, the film is a grotesque about the development of the art market into a speculative exchange - driven by greed, a thirst for recognition and the grand illusion that the value of a painting can be measured by its price.
How it landed. With an audience score of 6.0/10, Der Illusionist has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
