The Mastermind

In a sedate Massachusetts suburb circa 1970, unemployed family man and amateur art thief J.B Mooney sets out on his first heist.

With the museum cased and accomplices recruited, he has an airtight plan. Or so he thinks. A brilliant look at the folly of man, rich in textured detail, this sly depiction of an era subverts long-held illusions and confronts disillusionment.

'...the dreary details of post-heist calamity are as pertinent as the main event. It is this that attracts Reichardt’s observing eye and makes The Mastermind so quietly gripping' - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
