Natalie Portman tries to sell a corpse and film-makers traffic in art-market stereotypes in The Gallerist
Cathy Yan's new black comedy caper *The Gallerist*, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, follows Miami-based dealer Polina Polinski (Natalie Portman) as she tries to sell a corpse impaled on a sculpture during Art Basel Miami Beach. The film, co-written by Yan and James Pedersen, features a cast including Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Zach Galifianakis, Jenna Ortega, Charli xcx, and Catherine Zeta-Jones, and leans heavily on art-world stereotypes for its farcical humor.
