The Spoils (2024) 🇨🇦 at Metro Cinema

THE SPOILS 🇨🇦 asks the question 'what should happen to art that was stolen by Nazis during WWII?' The answer is complicated.⁠
⁠
For years, the Düsseldorf City Museum struggled to organize an exhibition in honor of Jewish art dealer Max Stern, who escaped Germany during WWII and settled in Montreal, becoming one of Canada’s leading art dealers. ⁠
⁠
Planned for 2018, it was not held until 2021, having been delayed by discussions around the world by lawyers, curators, politicians, and Jewish groups on the restitution of art looted by the Nazis.⁠
