This is the only film that has ever managed to make me laugh out loud!
And I am not even exaggerating because i hardly LOL
At certain point it lacks subtlety, that is true.
But all in all the film is unfailingly witty and original. I love how it stated at the start that everybody is a cliché..
Bardo: “I’m a living cliché just like the rest of these guys. I’m the guy who keeps dropping out and changing his major just because he’s afraid he really sucks at everything. “
I am also amused by all the thoughtful details in the background, and how they echo with what is going on in the film.
I find a lot of depth in this film and I can keep re-watching it until I exhaust the many layers in the script.
The film confronts many controversial issues in the academic modern art arena and the art scene in general. To many people modern art is disheartening place where people without skill can succeed . For instance this guy in No Skill No Art pointed out that Modern Art is primarily dependent on talk rather than artistic skill. And this was openly confronted in the film (with artful humour! )
However skills and originality are not mutually exclusive- For instance I was very impressed by Ben Heine’s famous Pencil Vs Camera! Series
Art School Confidential has made it into my list of favourite film list
A quote from the original comic:
Remember, the only piece of paper less valuable than one of your paintings is a B.F.A. degree.”
LOL!
