Benjamin Ree's extraordinary documentary feels like a movie - there's a heist, villains who are not what they seem, scenes of striking intimacy and some fabulous twists.

What an engrossing film - and the gender reversal of a male muse inspiring a female painter has got to be one small step for art-world equality.

The beauty of the film is that this is life lived, in all its infinite strangeness - a grand tableau of intercrossed destinies, friendship and disaster, fjords and gangsters.

One leaves The Painter and the Thief feeling eager to see what might happen if we were kinder and less self-interested, and convinced anew of the basic connection between paint and the human heart.
