The Monuments Men

IT WAS THE GREATEST ART HEIST IN HISTORY.

monumentsmenIn 1943, art conservationist Frank Stokes (George Clooney) talks President Roosevelt into allowing him to form an Army unit consisting of art historians and various experts, with the task of saving as many works of art from the Nazis as possible. Based on true events, this film has a light, old-fashioned and playful touch, which should have made it more amusing than this. Perhaps the episodic nature is to blame; Cate Blanchett’s part is unsatisfying, for instance. Still very likable thanks to the star-studded cast and its dry sense of humor. The story, a tribute to unconventional heroes, maintains one’s interest.Ā
