Review of The Moderns

The Moderns (1988)
DVD from the library, moderately interesting period piece.

Warning: Spoilers
This movie came to my public library on DVD. It seemed interesting, I watched it.

Keith Carradine is Nick Hart, expatriate painter in Paris. He finds it hard making a living as a legitimate painter, and hires himself out to duplicate two Cezane paintings. Does the customer eventually get the originals, or the duplicates?

Linda Fiorentino was only in her late 20s and cute as Rachel Stone. We see all of her in some racy scenes in the bathtub with her possessive lover.

In this period piece we see a number of characters famous for the period. I suppose they were living a very "Modern" lifestyle, thus the name of the movie. While mostly enjoyable, with multiple story lines, I do not give it a very high recommendation.
