The Stolen Painting (Le tableau volé) (France) Caloundra Wed 2 Cinemas/ Massive Screening
Wed, 27 Aug
|Caloundra
A terrific film that works on multiple levels. A stolen painting recovered, auction house manoeuvrings, ambitious professionals and a provincial current owner who may get nothing? It's a mix, based on true events that is great to watch with an ending that will get a paddle up. "Elegant and funny."

Inspired by incredible true events, acclaimed writer/director Pascal Bonitzer’s sharp and engrossing new social comedy follows a self-assured auctioneer whose professional and personal integrity is challenged by the discovery of a long-lost masterpiece.
Paris, present day. Brash 40-something André Masson (César Award-winner Alex Lutz), a hotshot modern art appraiser at prestigious high-end auction house Scottie’s, (sounds like...) receives word that a painting by Egon Schiele may have been found in a young factory worker’s home in the Alsatian city of Mulhouse.
