Roadside Attractions has revealed the official trailer for the black comedy The Gallerist [GALRS]. Natalie Portman [NPORT] stars as a gallery owner who tries to pass off a dead body as art. Jenna Ortega, Zach Galifianakis, Daniel Brühl, Catherine Zeta Jones, Sterling K. Brown and Da’vine Joy co-star in film directed by Cathy Yan. The Gallerist debuts in theaters on December 4th.
Set against the glittering excess of Art Basel Miami, The Gallerist follows an ambitious gallery owner (Portman) clinging to the edge of elite society and desperate to prove herself on the heels of a nasty separation, facing mounting financial hardship. What begins as an impromptu act of survival—when she conspires to pass off an accidental corpse as the centerpiece of her debut show—spirals into a sly game of deception, spectacle, and ticking-clock chaos as influencers and police converge. Will she end up famous, a felon, or both?
