๐ŸŽ“ In a sedate Massachusetts suburb circa 1970, unemployed family man and amateur art thief J.B Mooney sets out on his first heist. With the museum cased and accomplices recruited, he has an airtight plan. Or so he thinks.

A brilliant look at the folly of man, The Mastermind features Josh O'Connor, Alana Haim, Gaby Hoffmann, John Magaro, Hope Davis and Bill Camp. Rich in textured detail, this sly depiction of an era subverts long-held illusions and confronts disillusionment.

A heist film which features one of the most laid-back robberies in cinema, and then a drifter film which evokes earlier Reichardt visions of marginal US life such as Wendy and Lucy and even River of Grass.

Cinematographer Christopher Blauvelt and production designer Anthony Gasparro evoke New England fall colours, matched by the warm tones of the period dressing. Josh Oโ€™Connor adds another role to his growing collection of lived in, and clapped out, men. Rob Mazurekโ€™s complex but laid back jazz score binds it all together.

We will meet for pre-drinks at the Garden Cinema Bar before heading to Screen 1. Feel free to choose your favourite seat. And, then we briefly reconvene one more time for a casual Letterboxd Review.

It will be a night at a classy cult cinema, good vibes and an independent movie.

I look forward to seeing you guys there.
