Aro Recommended High Art

 

USA 1998, 98 minutes
Dir. Lisa Cholodenko
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Drama / Independent, Lesbian

Topics: Drugs & Alcohol.

 

Aroview: Accepted into the fold of her washed-up, drug-addled neighbours, a curious young photojournalist (Rahda Mitchell) finds professional and romantic interest in her creative mentor, a former art-world-darling photographer (Ally Sheedy in a sensational comeback performance).

Inspired by the character and work of Nan Goldin, this snaps a fittingly moody picture of a bohemian New York subculture, reflected in dingy light and design, while provoking some pointed questions about the murky interdependence of art, success, and exploitation.
