Vjeran Tomic: The Spider-Man of Paris (2023)
Vjeran Tomic: The Spider-Man of Paris (2023)
Overview
This Netflix documentary hands the microphone to Vjeran Tomic, the man behind the 2010 theft of five paintings from the Paris Museum of Modern Art, including works by Picasso and Matisse. He tells the story himself, which is a generous narrative choice for a thief. The Leans Traditional label reflects what the film is, rather than what it avoids. There are no ideological agendas, no social commentary, no identity politics. The focus stays on a single man, his methods, and a very specific crime. That narrowness, combined with an apolitical frame and straightforward documentary style, places it closer to the traditional end of the spectrum by default.
Starring Cast
Louis Deleegher • Maxime Canat • Derek Simon Robin
