High Art (1998)
Country: US
Technical: col 102m
Director: Lisa Cholodenko
Cast: Ally Sheedy, Radha Mitchell
Synopsis:
The assistant editor of a photographic magazine discovers that she lives next door to a once famous photographer and her bohemian cronies. She helps her get a cover shoot with the magazine based on the current state of her life but their falling in love has implications for the eventual content of the shots.
Review:
A pairing of characters representing the ambitious (enthusiastically conceptualizing art) and the jaded (drug-induced inspiration), this love story is not without its clichés, but charms in its mould-breaking sapphism (shades of When Night Is Falling perhaps) and its sobre, sombre approach to its material, which comes over as committed but not too earnest.
