In which the Mister joins me in reviewing THE LOST LEONARDO (2021), from director Andreas Koefoed and writing credits attributed to Andreas Dalsgaard, Christian Kirk Muff, Andreas Koefoed, Mark Monroe and Duska Zagorac. The film follows the story of how a painting found in New Orleans that sold for $1,175.00 then made an epic journey to ultimately end up at auction and selling for $450 million dollars. The story talks to critics, historians, a restorer who winds up more invested in the story’s outcome, among a litany of others who live in the art world. The story covers the span of a few years but the mystery of the Salvator Mundi, in which you never really get confirmation if itis a trueartwork from the master, Leonardo DaVinci, and there is suspicion of who ultimately ownsthe painting althoughmany facts seem to point toa Saudi Arabian prince now being its owner. The film has a run time of 1 h 36 m and is rated PG-13 and is available on the Starz app but also for rent on many other platforms. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
