The Mastermind is a heist drama written and directed by Kelly Reichardt, set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War in 1970 America. The film follows a struggling family man who secretly plans an art theft from a quiet suburban museum, reflecting tensions between personal desire and collective responsibility. Inspired by real-life art robberies and the crime films of Jean-Pierre Melville, the movie blends historical context with moral inquiry. It premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, competing for the Palme d’Or, and was released in the United States later that year by Mubi.
