Variety has been given exclusive access to the trailer for Milorad Krstić’s animated heist thriller “Ruben Brandt, Collector,” which the Locarno Film Festival has just revealed will world premiere in its open-air venue, the Piazza Grande.
The English-language film centers on Ruben Brandt, a psychotherapist, who suffers from violent nightmares inspired by 13 famous works of art, including Van Gogh’s “Portrait of the Postman Joseph Roulin,” Titian’s “Venus of Urbino” and Picasso’s “Woman with a Book.” Four of his patients, all of them highly skilled thieves, offer to steal the paintings, in the belief that his nightmares will end if he “possesses” them. He agrees to this plan, and they break into art galleries and private art collections across the world, including the Louvre, Tate, Uffizi, Hermitage and MoMA.
