The Gallerist is an upcoming American dark comedy thriller film directed by Cathy Yan and starring Natalie Portman, Jenna Ortega, Sterling K. Brown, Zach Galifianakis, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Premise
Preparing for her Art Basel premiere, gallerist Polina Polinski (Natalie Portman) hosts an early look for art influencer Dalton Hardberry (Zach Galifianakis) to review emerging artist Stella Burgess (Da’Vine Joy Randolph). Dalton rains hate on Polina, Stella, and the entire gallery until he encounters the centerpiece — a large-scale sculpture entitled “The Emasculator.” The “hyperrealist work” goes viral, attracting legendary dealer Marianne Gorman (Catherine Zeta-Jones), who revs up the ruthless machine of the art world.
