This movie looks funny as hell. “What attracts me to his work is how uncomfortable it makes me feel.”

The absurdity of the art world is a bit of an easy target but the writers did an excellent job of clearly pointing out the hypocrisy of the gallery system. Adam goldberg is perfect as the tortured artist and Marley Shelton is amazing and beautiful!

So killing himself is more artistic then “getting a job” to that guy?… hahah
Ironic that these kinds of “artists” who want to tell/show a higher truth come off as the most narcissist & self-centered and almost stupid.

@Chuck Shakokis,
Good point chuck, cos characters in movies are always fictional and never relate to people in the real world.

@shahnyboy,
correct, they’re fictional & in the case of this film, quite two dimensional characters representing a narrow range of dull cliches about contemporary art. Still, the blonde looks hot.

I thought the 80’s thing was in the rear view.

As for me, I can’t wait to see it … via Netflix.

@Rob Greer, I think everyone knows at least a few people who thought they could make a “Jackson Pollock” themselves after seeing that movie. :-)
