DVD Reviews of Stolen
DVD Review: This gorgeous little little film will keep you up at night...
Summary: 5 Stars
wondering where "the Concert" might be hidden, who is responsible, and you'll shake your head at the sheer audacity of this theft. It was something that sounded like fiction when it happened and watching this will even make you worry that the piece and the others are at the very least stored and archived safely.
I for one would like to live to see the day that "the Concert" is put back in its frame and to know where it's been all these years. The film will have that effect on you; even if you know nothing about the Gardner Museum heist, you'll come to the end of it caring about these works!
DVD Review: Art appreciation lesson in a never solved mysterious theft
Summary: 5 Stars
The Gardner Museum is an enormous collection of valuable art collected by a woman who was obsessed with acquiring the best for her extraordinary home. The unsolved theft of millions of dollars of art one night remains one of Boston's most discussed crimes. There are mountains of speculation. The film brilliantly weaves an important art appreciation component into the story line.
If you appreciate art, love an unsolved mystery, and want to see the strange characters involved in the hidden world of art theft - this is for you.
DVD Review: Interesting if you love art & museums
Summary: 4 Stars
Good look at trying to find stolen art. The art investigator himself is really the best part of the story. Would only recommend if you have serious interest in stolen art & their museums.DVD Review: The underworld and art theft
Summary: 5 Stars
STOLEN is an absorbing and truly informational look at the seedy side of the antique and art dealer world as seen through the still-unsolved St.Patrick's Day heist that occurred at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston.The documentary involves the present day characters who could have been involved and those who have been trying to crack the case since 1990.The narration of Blythe Danner and Campbell Scott re-enact the relationship of Mrs.Gardner and her art purchaser Bernard Berenson from the late 1800's in order to show the obsession that Gardner had in procuring these rare art treasures and the lengths that people even then would go to to get famous paintings.This theme of underworld is woven skillfully by film maker Rebecca Dreyfus as she shows how complex cell groups continue to operate in art thievery and their motivations, quite contrary to "the love of art"! .Also, the documentary is a fascinating look at the paintings by Vermeer, Rembrandt and others that were stolen and why specifically these works.A great discussion and informational documentary that is very compelling and full of true life mystery and possible political intrigue that seems to only appear in Hollywood, but in fact exists in truth!DVD Review: For Heaven's Sake, Give Us Our Artwork Back!
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVED this movie. I am so glad I purchased it. As an artist, I am continually appalled at the way greed and retrobution drives people and the ripple effect it has on the whole of humanity. This gets to the heart of this movie and this true-life drama. There's nothing charitable to say about the people who stole this art, whether alive or dead, but I hope the decendants of these people have the decency to return to Isabella's museum what is rightfully hers and stop being so, bloody-well IRISH! (I can say that because I am Irish and it makes my blood boil to learn that it is Irishmen suspected of stealing these treasures. You are better than that!)
Description of Stolen
In 1990, in the early morning hours after St. Patrick's Day, thieves disguised as policemen gained access into Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and successfully executed the largest art heist in modern history. Stolen brings the audience on a journey to understand not just a crime, but also the nature of beauty itself--its fragility and its power.General DVDs
