User Reviews

Better than "Art School Confidential".

Thought this film was a great art school film. Wasn't bogged down by lots of mainstream stereotypes of artists getting high or spouting off lots of pretentious philosophy. Parts of it were obviously meant to me funny, or ironic in a ha-ha way, but those parts were very self-aware, and were designed to make fun of real movies that try to pull that stuff off as "serious" art. As a documentary/drama, or philospohical movie about the role of artists in society, or movie-making as an art form, I thought the ideas in the movie were very smart and beret well presented. The film jumped back and forth between these two different "dramatic" worlds, and that use of film-making technique was very well done. I wish there were more art school films like this, and just more films like this, in general. I wish there had been some behind-the-scenes features with the film because I'm sure they would've been really funny. Nevertheless, the film was completely cool.
