Hypothesis of Stolen Painting (French: L'HypothÃÆ'¨se du tableau volÃÆ'  © ) is a 1978 experimental mystery film directed by Chilean filmmaker RaÃÆ'ºl Ruiz and taken by cinematographer Sacha Vierny. The film is inspired by the themes of French writer Pierre Klossowski (1905 - 2001) and makes reference to many of Klossowski's works including the The Revocation of Edict of Nantes , The Baphomet and "La Judith de Frà © à © dÃÆ'  © rique Tonnerre. " Ruiz was originally commissioned by the French TV network to make an art documentary about Klossowski, but what emerged was the film, a parody of an art documentary. The film is featured in film festivals after it was released like the London Film Festival in 1979. The Hypothesis of Stolen Painting has been noted as one of Ruiz's works challenging the boundaries of cinema and film theory.

Plot
"You can say The Hypothesis of the Stolen Painting is a detective film because of the puzzle... In a more baroque system like the Hypothesis system, you do not enjoy finding the crossword -teki "
The Hypothesis of Stolen Painting begins with a static shot from a street that originally appears as a still image or a photograph. The opening session introduces the audience to the themes that will be described later. Michael Goddard's The Cinema of RaÃÆ'ºl Ruiz: Impossible Cartographies states that this film shows the exploration of the power of cinema "simulacral repetition," the ability of cinema to simulate images that go beyond repetitive forces in which repetitive images build themselves. Or, as David Heinemann says, the film "shows how visual signs are interesting, and produces other signs. Hypothesis , with the entry of various forms of reproduction, shows this cinematic power.
The remaining scene is centered around art collectors who participate in mockumentary interview style from a bodyless interviewer who has never been seen by an audience. Through a large 19th century baroque-style house and yard, the camera follows the collector as he guides the interviewer. This collector has six of seven canvas by 19th century fictional painters called FredÃÆ' Â © ric Tonnerre (a reference to the short story of Klossowski about a painter of the same name). No one knows what is in the fourth painting of the order because it was stolen. His quest was to recreate the lost painting through a series of connections between the other six to finally discover the meaning of the series as a whole. To achieve this, he hired models, acquired props and lighting rigs to bring each of the six surviving scenes to life as a table survival. Collectors take advantage of the advantages of tableaux as a medium to experience aspects of painting that can only be realized in three dimensions. He can then walk around each tableaux, adjust the lighting, move the actors to different positions, and build narratives intertext between the tableau. All this he did in speculation to find the artist's meaning behind the set of Tonnerre paintings. The tableaux vivants depict a single narrative that lies within each painting. Some of the narratives include the mythological characters Diana and Actaeon, Knights of the Templars playing chess, scandals among Parisian nobles, and occult ceremonies involving sacrifices similar to St Sebastian.
In each case the collector saw a strong sexual stream flowing between the characters, both heterosexual and homosexual. He also read out a very complicated novel plot in which the paintings were primarily conceived. When collectors explain the number of threads that connect each painting, the intangible narrator questions the conclusion of the collector's cart. The collector stubbornly suppressed with his investigation despite the narrator's criticism. Throughout the film collectors make a lot of claims about the connection between each tablo. More importantly, he thinks the esoteric cult footprint of Baphomet is hidden in a secret code inside the picture. However, without the missing painting, the overall answer avoids him, and the collector still asks more questions than when he started. He walked back through the gallery to the exit, slowly walking past the now-lined streets and stretched across the gallery. The actor who plays characters in the tabloit has difficulty keeping quiet. Some blink and some begin to lose their balance. Collector out through the gallery's back door and the movie ends when the camera is in the gallery.
