Painter is a 2020 indie psychological thriller film about a rich art collector (Betsy Randle) and benefactor who becomes obsessed with an unknown artist.[1][2]
Plot
A close relationship forms super fast between a young painter Aldis (Eric Ladin) and his new friend Joanne, a wealthy art collector. Joanne takes Aldis into her home and the young artist unfortunately finds out that their relationship is based on obsession with a taste of delusion and jealousy.[3]
The story has some similarities when it comes down to the subject matter relating to the contemporary art world, but the director takes on a different perspective compared to its psychological counterparts Velvet Buzzsaw and Nocturnal Animals.[4][5]
