Posthumous
by
Lulu Wang
Special Screenings
The market value of Liam's art works rockets when the artist fakes his own death. Not able to resist basking in his own success, Liam turns up at the opening of his retrospective in Berlin. When he meets the equally charming and curious reporter McKenzie, he conceals his true identity by pretending to be his twin brother. Although it’s not long before the smart journalist sees through his charade, she continues to play along. Together the two ‘swindlers’ discover the true value of art, beauty and love. POSTHUMOUS skillfully juggles the elements of the classic romantic screwball comedy. An ode to love and life.
