Director Alan Rudolph stylishly evokes the legendary milieu of 1902's Paris café society and 'the lost generation' of American artists and writers who lived there. While Hemmingway, Fitzgerald and Stein move in and out of scenes, the story centers around fictional Nick Hart (Keith Carradine), a struggling painter who spends his time drinking and socializing in the local cafes, and pestering gallery owner Libby Valentin (Genevive Bujold) to sell his paintings. He becomes entangled with a darkly mysterious woman named Rachel Stone (Linda Fiorentino) and her corrupt husband Bertram Stone (John Lone). Mr. Stone is supposedly an art collector who knows all of the most important of people and reduces those he cares little for to pulp. Danger threatens and fortune looms as Hart colludes in a plot by wealthy art patroness Nathalie de Ville (Geraldine Chaplin) to forge three now-famous paintings. One is left wondering whose paintings are really hanging in NY MOMA.
