SMA Talent’s Uno Helmersson Releases ‘The Painter And The Thief’ Score

Uno Helmersson’s score for The Painter and the Thief, the Sundance Special Jury Award-winning documentary by Benjamin Ree, has been released by Sony in concurrence with the film’s US digital distribution.

After the artist Barbora Kysilkova has two paintings stolen from a gallery in Oslo, she becomes as focused on the men who took them as the return of the paintings themselves and, at the trial of Karl-Bertil Nordland, she asks him if perhaps she can paint his portrait. Ree follows the pair as they form a knotted relationship, striving to know each other and to be known.

“…the year’s most moving documentary,” says The Guardian.

Uno Helmersson is an award-winning Swedish composer whosework includes the hit TV series The Bridge for which he was awarded a GoldenFIPA. His other major credits include the Emmy winning Armadillo documentaryseries which hollows a group of Danish soldiers for six months in Afghanistan, and Magnus, about the life of Norway’s Mozart of Chess, also directed by BenjaminRee.
