眼尖的他發現那幅畫作應是出自俄國大師列賓之手 住在赫爾辛基畫的商奧拉維總將藝術與工作視為第一甚至因此忽略了家庭和親人在退休前的一場拍賣會上一幅塵封的畫作意外吸引了奧拉維的注意他眼尖發現那幅畫作應該是出自俄國現實主義大師列賓Ilya Repin之手奈何畫作上並未署名加上拍賣目錄資料無多致使價格低落乏人問津 嗅到商機的奧拉維決定在退休前再幹最後一筆交易只要證實該畫確屬列賓真跡立刻價值連城他就能從中大撈一筆此時奧拉維多年不見的女兒蕾拉突然出現拜託他代為照顧15歲的孫子奧多為避免打草驚蛇奧拉維於是叫奧多去調查畫作背景自己則四處借貸購畫的資金 奧多查出該畫作確實為列賓所繪此時資金借貸到位的奧拉維決定要孤注一擲但讓他最感納悶的是列賓為何要匿名作畫而這幅未署名的畫作又如何能證據出自他手並飆出驚人的銷售記錄

Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley#39;s early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality though using sex for several years; obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich eg, her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude but unseen work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone quot;I#39;m a mechanicquot;, yet the symbolism is rich he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy is, in fact a virgin, and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played The scene between Josh and Jane a wonderful, young Edie Falco quot;You need a woman not a girlquot; is hilarious real But Hartley can#39;t leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue overandover becomes frustratingly quot;artyquot; and annoying until again it becomes hilarious What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film like kids in a perpetual quot;am notquot;/quot;are tooquot; argument Hartley#39;s weaves all of a small neighborhood#39;s idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the quot;unbelievable truthquot; of the title is, yet no two people can agree including our hero on what exactly that truth is A wonderful little movie with some big ideas
