‘The Duke’ directed by Roger Michell (Notting Hill) tells a true story based in 1961 of Kempton Bunton, a 60-year-old taxi driver who steals Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London and how he left a note saying he would return the painting if the government invested more in care for elderly people. The story follows how he did it, why he did it and who he was.
