Following the war, Piller becomes an investigator assigned the task of identifying and redistributing stolen art, resulting in the flamboyant van Meegeren being accused of collaboration — a crime punishable by death. But, despite mounting evidence, Piller, with the aid of his assistant (Krieps), becomes increasingly convinced of Han's innocence and finds himself in the unlikely position of fighting to save his life. 2 CAST GUY PEARCE as Han Van Meegeren CLAES BANG as Joseph Piller VICKY KRIEPS as Minna Holmberg ROLAND MØLLER as Espen Vesser AUGUST DIEHL as Alex De Klerks OLIVIA GRANT as Cootje Henning ADRIAN SCARBOROUGH as Dirk Hannema ANDREW HAVILL as Maarten Wooning KARL JOHNSON as Bernard Bakker 3 CREW DIRECTED BY — DAN FRIEDKIN SCREENPLAY BY — JAMES MCGEE and MARK FERGUS & HAWK OSTBY BASED ON THE BOOK “The Man Who Made Vermeers” BY — JONATHAN LOPEZ PRODUCED BY — RYAN FRIEDKIN PRODUCED BY — DANNY FRIEDKIN PRODUCED BY — BRADLEY THOMAS EXECUTIVE PRODUCER — RIDLEY SCOTT EXECUTIVE PRODUCER — PETER HESLOP EXECUTIVE PRODUCER — GINO FALSETTO CO-PRODUCER — RICHARD GOODWIN DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY — REMI ADEFARASIN PRODUCTION DESIGNER — ARTHUR MAX EDITED BY — VICTORIA BOYDELL COSTUME DESIGNER — GUY SPERANZA MAKEUP AND HAIR DESIGNER — NAOMI DONNE MUSIC BY — JOHAN SODERQVIST CASTING BY — KATE RINGSELL 4 INTRODUCTION The very nature of art is enigmatic — how it’s created, why it moves us, and what classifies it as great in the eyes of experts and in history.
