Our take
Giuseppe Capotondi’s slinky Mephistophelian thriller is firmly rooted in the glamorous yet shadowy underbelly of the art world. Bathed in the aura of acting royalty Donald Sutherland and a cameo from Rolling Stone Mick Jagger, Burnt Orange Heresy questions what the true value of art really is.
