Downtown 81 16 reviews Jean Michel Basquiat, John Lurie
Zeitgeist Films, 2002
Eerily timeless & worth owning for Basquiat fans & early '80s scene
+ This Is Not By Vincent Gallo
Initially dubious about this film, I read every Amazon review before purchasing and was pleased to find the quality and substance even better than I'd hoped. I love the movie "Basquiat" and now I'm amazed how well it portrayed the artist & his life, having now seen Downtown 81. Don't miss the ...

The Devil and Daniel Johnston 40 reviews Thurston Moore, Jeff Tartakov
Sony Pictures, 2006
It's that one guy who did that one song
+ An unrealized talent + Fascinating Documentary that Will Appeal to Fans and Non-Fans Alike
When I started watching this, I didn't really know much about it. I vaguely remember seeing a trailer for it awhile ago, but that's all. However, as the film progressed and more music samples were played, I realized that the documentary's subject, the creative but troubled Daniel Johnston, was ...

Andrei Rublev (Criterion Collection Spine #34) 90 reviews Anatoli Solonitsyn, Ivan Lapikov
Criterion, 1999
The Most Spiritual Film Ever Made
+ A stunning and thought-provoking film - but not for the faint-hearted or those with ADHD + THE LOWDOWN ON THE TWO VERSIONS
Tarkovsky digs deep into history itself and reveals hidden truths about the religious experience and the mind of the artist in this epic struggle through the wintry wastelands of medieval Russia. A profound, mystical journey of enlightenment which remains perhaps the most spiritual film ever made.

Pollock 106 reviews Tom Bower, Jennifer Connelly
Sony Pictures, 2001
Art minus hollywood frills
+ Tormented soul and a brilliant talent + Best DVD Commentary Remark Ever
There is no simple way to label this film any more than there is a an easy way to describe its subject. Pollock was a fascinating person and the movie does an excellent job in describing how his paintings evolved. It's educational, in fact, gloriously so, but the film goes so much farther than ...

AMERICAS FINEST LIVING CARTOONIST
+ A Life in Ink and Paper + Quite Excellent

The Life & Times of Andy Warhol - Superstar 13 reviews Paul Morrissey, Mrs. Fred Leighton

Follows Warhol's career chronologically, with an opportunity to meet family members, art dealers, Factory regulars (including Gerard, Holly, and Candy) and celebrities.

I have one favorite scene in the film VINCENT AND THEO, the late Robert Altman's highly acclaimed masterwork on the life of Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh. It is a short brutal scene in the first half of the movie when Van Gogh's model and mistress is leaving him: she slaps him witless, and then ...
