Art History
Jan 09, 2012
(Joe Swanberg, 2011, USA, Blu-ray, 74 min)
Mumblecore director Joe Swanberg’s film Art History is a backstage-drama surrounding a sexually explicit film shoot. When the actors take the romance off screen, the filmmaker, played by Swanberg himself, becomes jealous. The ambiguity between film and reality, love and desire is explored in this meta-film with the audience privy to all.
“Joe Swanberg may not be a Jean Renoir just yet, but he is a young person brimming with ideas.” —Brigitta Wagner, Senses of Cinema
Appropriate for ages 18+
