I'm a huge fan of Daniel Clowes, but

I'm a huge fan of Daniel Clowes, but not as big as Shia LaBeef, who not only stole Clowes' work for his first film "Howard Cantour", but, in epic artist form, LaBeef also stole his apology for stealing Clowes' work. This theme of "actor stealing the masterpiece to sell as his own" is seen in this underrated adaptation of Clowes' work, "Art School Confidential," except the Artist being stolen from is the murderer. In clashes of abstract talent versus technical talent, we see what drives the Clowes' stand-in (Max Minghella) to steal a killer's paintings after befriending the misanthropic murderer at his dilapidated apartment. The other highlight in this film is John Malkovich, who plays the art professor trying to navigate his celebrity as the first artist to really paint triangles. The wink at artistic property and innate symbols which belong to all of us is well done here. The analysis of art and its students is so wonderful in this, you won't want to miss it. There are many wonderful sketches of women art students, and even though they sting, they are spot on.

As a huge Clowes fan, and especially of

As a huge Clowes fan, and especially of "Ghost World," I couldn't wait for this movie to come out back in '06. Alas, I was somewhat disappointed. It's not quite as good as its predecessor, but it has the same feel as GW and Sophie Myles as Audrey might even be as compelling as Thora Birch playing Enid Coleslaw. But in the wake of the recent Hollywood downturn and all of this crap we're getting on streaming, I decided to revisit Art School Confidential. I must say, it has aged well and I found it much more enjoyable this time, since I wasn't placing all my expectations on it. This movie doesn't have an unoriginal bone in its body. It is a little uneven, but there are some scenes that just stick with you (e.g., Audrey looking over Jerome's shoulder at his sketch of her and just smiling with an indeterminate "Hmpf") If you're looking for a movie that has an indie sensibility but is still watchable, I think you'll enjoy it. And if you liked Ghost World, I'd say it's mandatory viewing.
