Production – What we know about the Rothko

Key Facts

Nowhere Boy and Fifty Shades Of Grey filmmaker Sam Taylor-Johnson said: “Rothko is not just a movie about the great artist, but rather a timeless story about right versus wrong. It’s Kate Rothko’s journey to protect the seminal paintings from the corrupt men who betrayed her father and stole his art; it is a reckoning with men in positions of power who try everything to destroy her father’s legacy (3/6/2021).”
Adapted from the book The Legacy of Mark Rothko by Lee Seldes.
