Začel se je 36. ljubljanski mednarodni filmski festival - LIFFe, ki mu oddajo namenjamo skoraj v celoti. Napovedujemo najbolj pričakovane filme festivala in ocenjujemo Belo se pere na devetdeset, ki je na festivalu v rekordnem času razprodal štiri projekcije. Ljubiteljem kinotečnih filmov pa sta namenjena retrospektiva filmov ameriške neodvisne filmarke Kelly Reichardt in izbor filmov ukrajinske filmske ustvarjalke Julije Solnceve. Pozabili pa nismo niti na druge filme: v kinu je znanstvenofantastična akcijska srhljivka Tekač, posneta po distopičnem romanu Stephena Kinga, ki je bil dogajalno postavljen prav v leto 2025.

On October 19th, a group of masked men broke into the Louvre in broad daylight and made off with some of France's crown jewels. Suspects are now in custody, but the online fervor is still going strong. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss the sordid satisfaction of watching a heist play out, both onscreen and off. They dive into the debacle at the Louvre, along with a range of fictional depictions, from the fantasy of hyper-competence in “Ocean's Eleven” to the theft that goes woefully awry in Kelly Reichardt's new film, “The Mastermind.” Part of the fun, it seems, lies in rooting for those who identify and exploit the blind spots of an institution. “Someone else, just like me, is seeing that everybody is an idiot. But, unlike me, they're able to best those people in charge,” Fry says. “It's an alternative morality—a morality of wits.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“The Mastermind” (2025)“Ocean's Eleven” (2001)Stella Webb's impression of “the Louvre heist Creative Director”Jake Schroeder's “Ballad for the Louvre”“Showing Up” (2022)“The Italian Job” (1969)“How to Beat the High Cost of Living” (1980)“Drive” (2011)“Le Cercle Rouge” (1970)“This Is a Robbery: The World's Biggest Art Heist” (2021)“Good Time” (2017)“George Santos and the Art of the Scam” (The New Yorker)New episodes drop every Thursday.

Paul and Erin review more new releases, including Kathryn Bigelow's A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE, Yorgos Lanthimos' BUGONIA, Kelly Reichardt's THE MASTERMIND, Richard Linklater's BLUE MOON and Nia DaCosta's HEDDA, and look back at Ingmar Bergman's "Faith Trilogy," Dario Argento's DEEP RED and Ethan Hawke's new TV series THE LOWDOWN.

The Mastermind is a 2025 heist film written and directed by Kelly Reichardt. The film stars Josh O'Connor, Alana Haim, Hope Davis, John Magaro, Gaby Hoffmann and Bill Camp. Set in 1970, the film follows a struggling family man who secretly plots to steal art from a sleepy suburban museum while the nation rages over the Vietnam War. Reichardt described the film as a struggle between the allure of individualism and the necessity of collective action. The film was inspired by a mixture of real-life events and classic films, including the 1972 robbery of the Worcester Art Museum and the films of Jean-Pierre Melville.The film had its world premiere at the main competition of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival on May 23, where it was nominated for the Palme d'Or, and was released in the United States by Mubi on October 17. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Beeindruckt von THE MASTERMIND widmen wir der US-Independent-Regisseurin Kelly Reichardt ein Special. Wir befragen ihr Werk nach ihrer Erzählweise, ihrer Lust aufs Genre, dem Einsatz von Musik und fragen uns selbst, weshalb wir von ihren Filmen so fasziniert sind. Das Filmquartett ist diesmal: Dunja Bialas, Benedikt Guntentaler, Wolfgang Lasinger und Thomas Willmann

Kelly Reichardt's genre-defying heist movie, The Mastermind, is in cinemas, so we're taking the opportunity to discuss our favourite capers. We also pay tribute to the longest running cinema release of all time  (from 1975 to present day), The Rocky Horror Picture Show, on its 50th anniversary.ReferencesDogma: The Resurrection Tour-----------If you love what we do, please like, subscribe and leave a review!Edited and produced by Lily Austin and James BrailsfordOriginal music by James BrailsfordInstagram TikTokLetterboxdEmail us

Original Release Date: Monday 3 November 2025    Description:   After a cold open wherein Phil sets the stage, the show gets started in mid-conversation as frequent contributor Jon Lawlor shares some of his thoughts about Aziz Ansari's Good Fortune. The topic then turns to Paul Thomas Anderson's 2002 film Punch-Drunk Love with particular emphasis paid to the way Anderson used music while shooting the film. This leads to Dean explaining the ways on-set music would be used in the silent film era, and how something called “click tracks” would be used in animation. In 2022 the great actor Stellan Skarsgard suffered a stroke and yet has been able to continue acting. The ways this has been achieved get discussed. The current heist picture The Mastermind from master filmmaker Kelly Reichardt is foremost in Phil's thoughts, specifically why, despite universal critical praise, the film is being mostly hated by moviegoers, most of whom have seen it in multiplexes. Phil also shares with Dean and Jon the new set of questions he asks himself, and answers in writing, each night before bed.

Sean and Amanda start the show by covering the major box office success of ‘Chainsaw Man,' reacting to the news that Cinemark is opening myriad new 70 mm IMAX screens across the country, and discussing what it represents for the future of moviegoing (2:00). Then, they deep dive into Kathryn Bigelow's new film, ‘A House of Dynamite,' starring Rebecca Ferguson. They unpack their very complicated feelings by highlighting what they found successful, including a titillating first act and some strong performances, and they address its major flaws, most notably a wild third act that features a deeply unsuccessful performance from Idris Elba (12:59). Finally, Adam Nayman joins the show to discuss Kelly Reichardt's new film, ‘The Mastermind,' starring Josh O'Connor as an outcast loner (1:07:46). They talk about Reichardt's ability to identify this type of character and give credit to her and O'Connor for crafting such a wonderful performance.

This week's Empire Podcast sees Chris Hewitt struggle with the enunciation of one word in particular (you'll have to listen to find out which). Incredibly, it's not 'Howl-o-ween', which is just one of the many things discussed by Chris and his three colleagues of such lethal cunning, Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, and Ben Travis. They get their teeth into movies in which a main character is ill, talk about the shock revelation that Adam Driver and Steven Soderbergh had developed a literal Solo movie for Kylo Ren, and review Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, Nia DaCosta's Hedda, and Kelly Reichardt's The Mastermind. Guest-wise, we have a veritable bounty as Helen has a lovely chat with Nia DaCosta, and Chris talks to Jeremy Strong, star of the Springsteen flick; and has a joyous natter about the end of the world with Rebecca Ferguson and Kathryn Bigelow, star and director respectively of A House Of Dynamite, which is now out on Netflix. No timecodes yet, as the guy who writes this blurb has to leg it to a screening. But they're roughly 23 minutes, one hour and three minutes in, and one hour and 38 minutes in. Enjoy!

Kate Wolf and Medaya Ocher speak with the filmmaker Kelly Reichardt about her new movie, The Mastermind, out in theaters now. Josh O'Connor stars as an unemployed carpenter named JB, who hatches a plan to rob the museum in his small Massachusetts town of its collection of Arthur Dove paintings. JB soon he finds himself on the run, leaving his young family behind for a Greyhound tour of 1970s America, a country torn apart by the war in Vietnam and Cambodia. Reichardt talks about her own childhood, her obsession with art heists and how we all, ultimately, get caught up in the sweep of history. 

Dave is back this week but, bum that he is, didn't get a chance to watch either film this week. So that leaves Megan flying solo on FRANKENSTEIN (3:00), writer-director Guillermo del Toro's take on Mary Shelley's classic novel. Short version: Megan loooooooved it and particularly enjoyed that this version portrays Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac) as a complete bastard, and it gives the Creature (Jacob Elordi) a humanity and depth that other versions don't. Then Evan joins Megan for THE MASTERMIND (17:04), writer-director Kelly Reichardt's latest, about an art heist gone wrong - largely because its planner (or mastermind, ha) is a terrible planner. Over on Patreon, Dave, Megan, and Evan talk about the 1977 film LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR in honor of the late Diane Keaton.

In a new film from writer and director Kelly Reichardt, actor Josh O'Connor stars as a man planning an art heist at a local museum. But very quickly, everything that can goes wrong, does go wrong. Reichardt and O'Connor discuss "The Mastermind," in theaters now.

As the 63rd New York Film Festival drew to a close last weekend, it was once again time for Film Comment's Festival Report, our annual live overview of the NYFF that was. FC Editor Clinton Krute was joined by critics Molly Haskell, J. Hoberman, and Beatrice Loayza for a spirited wrap-up analysis of the highlights and lowlights from the NYFF63 lineup. In front of a lively audience, the panel discussed and debated Radu Jude's Kontinental '25, Noah Baumbach's Jay Kelly, Kelly Reichardt's The Mastermind, Lav Diaz's Magellan, Mary Bronstein's If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, Alexandre Koberidze's Dry Leaf, and many other selections.

Three films in this year's NYFF lineup explore the intersections of quotidian life and the arts, following artists whose efforts to make time and space for their creative passions are thwarted or frustrated by the grind of the everyday. In Kent Jones's Late Fame, adapted from an Arthur Schnitzler novella, a once-upon-a-time New York poet (and now a postal worker) is intoxicated by the sudden attentions of a coterie of twentysomething wannabe poets. In Kelly Reichardt's The Mastermind, set in the 1970s, an aimless art-school dropout executes a comically sloppy heist at a local museum, as if seeking escape from his banal, bourgeois family life. And in Lucio Castro's Drunken Noodles, an art student spends a summer in New York, having a series of serendipitous and erotic encounters around painting, poetry, and writing. Each film dwells in how both the making and consuming of art can force life into a pace incompatible with that of the modern world. Last Sunday at NYFF, Jones, Reichardt, and Castro joined Film Comment editors Devika Girish and Clinton Krute for a conversation exploring the temporality of cinema versus the other arts, the challenge of being a working artist, and the exquisite craft behind their new films.

We were delighted to welcome Kelly Reichardt, Bill Camp, Hope Davis, Gaby Hoffman, and John Magaro to the 63rd New York Film Festival to discuss The Mastermind in a conversation with NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim. Reichardt's restrained and often funny anti-thriller is set against a Nixon-era backdrop of alienation and disillusionment, following a taciturn family man (Josh O'Connor) who makes the rash, largely inscrutable decision to orchestrate a heist at the local art museum. The 63rd New York Film Festival is presented in partnership with Rolex. The Mastermind opens at Film at Lincoln Center on October 17.

This time on Projector Pod, we are talking about arthouse director Kelly Reichardt's latest film, The Mastermind. A 1970s period piece about an unemployed father's attempt to pull off an audacious and strangely specific art heist at the local gallery. It is a richly textured, slow, almost slapstick character study set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War and fading dreams of the counterculture about the dangers of being the main character when you're not quite up to the task.If you think Projector Pod is the kind of thing you'd like to support, you can find our Patreon here.

Whether it be loneliness, solitude, finding sanctuary in a stifled relationship or waiting for a takeaway meal, or maybe one of the most precious things of all, the comfort in creating for ones self, Kaite Fitz is shifting how we see ourselves on screen. Her short film Smoke, which premiered at the St Kilda Film Festival, presents Lianne Mackessy's main character, a woman who moves through her day, quietly being hollowed out by a void that's emerging within her. Her relationship exists, but it's more of an idea than anything else, yoga becomes an event tinged with friction. Her work, restoring art, is a rare sanctuary.The title, Smoke, alludes to the lingering presence of something burnt, the smell of the past hanging into the future. Sometimes this is a comforting smell, like incense, or sometimes it's a smell that heralds a lie or the smothering of truth, like the lingering haze of cigarettes.Kaite is an emerging Australian filmmaker who presents women who live familiar lives, rolling forward on a continuing existence that persists in the face of stagnation. We rarely see these characters on screen because we're so rarely invited to hear from and engage with women storytellers who present real people on screen. It's no surprise then that Kaite looks to filmmakers like Kelly Reichardt or Alena Lodkina as inspirations for the work that she's doing.In the following interview, Kaite talks about her creative process, about having learned from filmmaker Michael Rowe, working with producer Miki Clarke, the notion of truth on screen, as well as exploring what her creative voice looks like on screen with films like Smoke, and in her as yet unproduced feature screenplay Peachy.This interview is part of the ongoing series of emerging filmmakers who are part of the rising swell of Australian filmmakers. These are storytellers who are collectively, yet singularly, shaping what the Australian film oeuvre looks like, feels like, and sounds like. In turn, they are forming a new language for Australian cinema, shaping what stories are being told, how they're being presented, and much more.Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky @thecurbau.
