Ruben Brandt, a famous psychotherapist, is forced to steal 13 paintings from world-renowned museums and private collections to prevent himself from suffering from terrible nightmares. Accompanied by four of his patients, he and his gang of thieves strike regularly and with great success: the Louvre, the Tate, Uffizi, Hermitage, MoMA. 'The Collector' quickly becomes the most-wanted criminal. Gangsters and headhunters chase him around the world while the reward for his capture keeps rising, approaching 100 million dollars. A cartell of insurance companies entrusts Mike Kowalski, a private detective and leading art theft expert, with solving the case. (Sarajevo Film Festival)

Who would have thought that such a good animated flick would come from Hungary of all places? A perfect music score, including a Radiohead cover, and a bazillion of references to the world of art are the two main reasons I enjoyed this movie so much. Of course I’m no art historian so a lot of those allusions were lost on me. On the other hand, it was clear that the makers were professionals who knew very well what they were doing. And they were doing it in a purposeful, entertaining fashion, which was sometimes too dynamic for my taste, but they managed to hold my attention for ninety minutes, for which I will reward them with solid four stars.
