High Art [DVD]

undefined

Product Description ------------------- A landmark in independent and gay filmmaking, Lisa Cholodenko's High Art is a superbly constructed erotic drama which charts the tempestuous romantic entanglements between three women. Forty-year-old photographer, Lucy (Ally Sheedy, in an award-winning performance) and her German girlfriend Greta (Patricia Clarkson, revelatory in a heartbreaking role) are embroiled in a drug-fuelled affair. When Lucy's upstairs neighbour, the seemingly innocent 24-year-old blonde Syd (Radha Mitchell) enters into their lives, their world changes forever. High Art paints a startlingly real picture of the nature of an all-consuming bond between women, and the effect the haze of drugs and scourge of infidelity can have on that connection. A cinematic triumph that transcends any simple 'lesbian' tag. .co.uk Review ------------- 80’s offbeat heroine Ally Sheedy co-stars with indie queen Patricia Clarkson and Neighbours star-done-good Radha Mitchell in this intense, character-led drama. The story is realistic and heartfelt. Director Lisa Cholodenko manages to carry this drug-fueled classic independent film with bravado and honesty.--Jen Kilchenmann P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Review ------ Sheedy is excellent, as is Mitchell in a very expressive role. It's far from being a feel-good movie, but High Art undeniably has some power behind it that will stick with you past the closing credits. --Jerry Renshaw, .com See more ( javascript:void(0) )
