Discussion: ‘The Painter and the Thief’
“After surviving an abusive relationship in Prague, Czech painter Barbora Kysilkova relocated to Norway to start a new life. An exhibition of her work in Oslo signaled a fresh beginning — until, late one night, two men broke into the gallery, removed two of her paintings from their frames, and made off with them.
The Painter and the Thief tells the story of what happened when Kysilkova discovered the identity of one of the thieves. A petty criminal and heroin addict, Karl-Bertil Nordland was so strung out at the time of the theft that he couldn’t remember what he’d done with Barbora’s painting.
The Painter and the Thief focuses on the unexpected relationship that would develop between Kysilkova and Nordland. The film is a tribute to both the transformative power of art and Norway’s rehabilitative approach to justice.” Directed by Benjamin Ree.
