Our take

A witty and incisive debut, Max Linz’s colorful satire of the art scene in Berlin cuts close to the bone. Replete with enviable designer outfits and modernist furniture, this biting portrait of a curator in crisis dissects how a vocabulary stuffed with cultural references can mask a hollow core.
