Donna Tartt’s complex Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is brought to the screen in an adaptation with luscious cinematography by Roger Deakin.
When 13 year-old Theo Decker survives an explosion that kills his mother, he takes from the museum her favourite, very famous painting, The Goldfinch by Carel Fabritius (who was himself killed in an explosion in Delft). This theft has repercussions throughout Theo’s troubled and haunted adolescent and adult life.
