On the latest episode of Find Your Film, we recommend the new features The Duke and Petite Maman. Starring Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren, The Duke is the final feature of late director Roger Michell. Petite Maman is the latest effort from Portrait of a Lady on Fire filmmaker Céline Sciamma. Video and audio version of our podcasts is featured in the post!

The Duke is the true story of Kempton Bunton (Jim Broadbent), a 60-year-old taxie driver who stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. Bunton’s theft was not initiated to make a profit, however, as he had a much more humanitarian vision behind the operation. Helen Mirren co-stars as his long suffering wife and Matthew Goode is the attorney who represents his case.
Eric Holmes, Bruce Purkey and I both gave the feature four stars (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️). Roger Michell’s flair for crafting a good story continues with The Duke, and thanks to a charismatic performance from Broadbent, The Duke is a highly engaging viewing experience.
We review The Duke at the 6:24 mark of Find Your Film:
