Also very excited to finally meet Kelly Reichardt after all of these years of working with her early films in the O-Scope catalogue. I love THE MASTERMIND and highly recommend you come see it!
Kelly Reichardt’s The Mastermind (fresh from Cannes) lands with a sly, stunning take on 1970s suburbia, when an unemployed family man and amateur art thief sets out on his first heist. 🎞️
🎥 Q&A with Reichardt follows the 4PM screening Sun, Oct 19.
