Our TV movie pick for tonight (Wednesday, 1 October) is The Burnt Orange Heresy, an excellent but underseen crime thriller from 2019.
Written by acclaimed novelist Scott Smith (A Simple Plan) and directed by Giuseppe Capotondi (Suburra: Blood on Rome), the film revolves around a charismatic art critic named James Figueras (Claes Bang, Bad Sisters).
Joseph hires James to steal a Debney masterpiece for him from the artist's studio. In exchange, Joseph will arrange for James to interview the recluse, something no one has done for 50 years, thus helping the art critic's career.
As James commits to the plan, he becomes "consumed by his own greed and insecurity as the operation spins out of control".
Thanks to the movie's gorgeous Italian setting, its great lead performances (including Jagger) and its high society crime story, The Burnt Orange Heresy is perfect for fans of The Talented Mr Ripley.
The 2019 crime thriller is airing on TV tonight/tomorrow morning on Channel 4 at 1.25am. It is also available to rent on the Sky Store.
