Ensemble cast with impressive performances,

As much about the family members as it is about the priceless artifacts they donate to the Musée d’Orsay.

A meditative film on inheritance, heritage, and loss,

Subtle in its merits that take patience and investment to appreciate?

Or merely a pretentious film about the bourgeoisie’s materialism?
