Art History (2003)
Capers Anyone?
Gifted director Nick Bicanic and his DP, Todd Williams, combine to present a heist film that is both fast-paced and visually- compelling; and that's 'compelling' in the old-fashioned way, with creative camera angles, lighting schemes and story movement, rather than 'CGI this' and 'blue screen that' - (this is the way movies were meant to be made).
A quirky script (inspired by star Dominika Wolski, herself 'visually- compelling') reminiscent of other intriguing caper flicks such as 'Silent Partner' (another Canadian classic) and 'The Sting', invites the viewer to ride along with Stella, Alex and John as they make the transition from honor student roomies to big-time art thieves.
This cool little tale from Vancouver (with a kicking soundtrack) does not disappoint.
