Art Theft with a Twist

The documentary “The Painter and the Thief” explores a strange relationship when an artist chooses to make a portrait of the gangster who stole her work. Filmmaker Benjamin Ree achieves a remarkable intimacy filming in the quiet spaces of a studio and couples therapy. This film is a testament to the power of art.
