Plunderer: The Life and Times of a Nazi Art Thief is a feature-length documentary about art stolen from Jews by the Nazis. It focuses on Bruno Lohse, Hermann Göring’s art dealer in Paris during the war, who prospered by selling stolen art for sixty years after the war while families struggled to regain their paintings and memories.The film explores the the art markets–from wartime Paris to postwar Munich and Switzerland to modern America, the center of the global art trade today (its cultural heights and its murkier tax havens) and to the restitution culture of lost art collections.
No other film has detailed up-close the workings of ex-Nazi art dealers like Lohse, who operated their own postwar “Odessa” network. And none has shone such a light on the art market, which along with drugs and weapons is one of the last unregulated billion-dollar markets on earth. The film asks questions about the failures of postwar justice and the continuing complicity of governments and the art trade in unpunished crimes.
