The Painter And The Thief
21st January 2025
By Benjamin Ree Norway | 2020 | 1h 42’ | 15| Norwegian & English with English subtitles
A Czech artist befriends the criminal who stole one of her iconic paintings from an Oslo gallery, to understand his intent and hoping to recover the painting. A truly remarkable fly-on-the-wall documentary with more human interest and narrative urgency than most feature films.
“As fiction this would surely be dismissed as totally unbelievable; since it's not, this portrait of two totally fascinating characters proves to be as riveting as any thriller.” David Stratton, The Australian.
