artsy-fartsy holocaust - a sure way to be successful?
6 June 2010
Warning: Spoilers
This film represents the worst in cinema. It's "artsy-fartsy", which means that it pretends to have something to say by being incomprehensible. It's not David Lynch, who, in some of his films stumbles very near "artsy-fartsy" without actually delivering it. It's also not "Un chien andalou" (Bunuel), which does indeed evoke the feeling of a dream (as Lynch often evokes the feeling of nightmare) and therefore is not "artsy-fartsy". No, this is the work of the bulls-t artist, guarding himself with a holocaust-theme in order to make money with his shenanigans.

Other bulls-t artists guard themselves with nudity, which at least can be defended in that it sees vanity punished, meaning that the career-minded young actress lets herself be persuaded to strip in a "fine" "art-"film, which turns out to be just artsy-fartsy.

Yes, even art-films are business just as much art is business and no art at all.

What makes films like this one so abominable is that it prevents many people to see films that are truly art, like "Un chien andalou" or political films like "Bicycle Thieves" or "Burn!".
