My favourite film sub-genre is the heist film and my favourite sub-sub-genre is the art heist. John Woo's Once a Thief springs to mind... especially the scene where they steal the painting from the moving van while it's in motion.
I am always happy to hear about art theft. It has a romantic feel to it (that I am sure has no bearing on the reality).
And I love the idea of the paintings staging a jailbreak.
And this quote from the article: "This is a serious attack on the heritage of humanity," is so French.
