On the night of May 19th, 2010, five paintings were stolen from the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris. The five artworks, from artists including Matisse, Modigliani and Picasso, were estimated to be worth more than 100 million euros.
While the paintings have never been recovered, this outrageous comedy tells a frenetic and madcap tale of what could have happened to these famous works.
Melvil Poupaud plays Yonathan, whose monotonous life is turned upside down when he encounters Eric (Sofiane Zermani), a brash, smooth-talking con artist/fence. When Eric hires Jo (Steve TIentcheu), a skilled thief known as “The Spider Man of Paris”, to steal the paintings from the Museum of Modern Art, the three men’s lives are intertwined in an uncontrollable spiral.
This wonderfully told story takes audiences on an entertaining ride through one of the most famous art heists of recent times.
