The Hypothesis of Stolen Painting

Chilean Director 's"The Hypothesis of Stolen Painting (1979)"

How would it be to enter into a painting and dissect it from various angles for clues & find something much bigger...

The mood, lighting, models and the stage are all set like a painting in this movie. And all the actors expression and gestures frozen in a place but not in time. The dilemma and the eventually the frustration of the collector narrating it can only be justified by his and our curiosity.  In Kurosawa's Dreams we enter into the colorful Van Gogh's painting.
