Today's art news is split between stage and screen. A new documentary rounds up the titans of 1950s British theater, while a separate film profiles a lost Shakespearean actor. Meanwhile, a long-running restitution case finally closes with a Nazi-looted portrait headed home.
Two high-profile documentaries are putting British theater history in the spotlight, one via a who's-who of living legends and the other through a single tragic life.
Kenneth Branagh produces a doc that corrals Judi Dench, Anthony Hopkins, Ian McKellen, Gary Oldman, and Helen Mirren to talk about the era when stage actors like Richard Burton were rock-star famous. Two outlets are covering it, which signals real interest.
Andrew Scott plays Ian Charleson, the Shakespearean actor who died of AIDS during a 1990 'Hamlet' run. The review says Scott dodges awards-bait clichés, which is the kind of performance notice that matters for a biopic.
A decades-old Nazi loot case finally reaches a conclusion, with an Argentine court clearing the return of a stolen portrait.
An Argentine court approved the return of a Nazi-looted Italian portrait to the heir of dealer Jacques Goudstikker. The daughter of a fugitive Nazi official dropped her claim to avoid trial. That's a concrete win in a notoriously slow restitution process.
