Art History

"Art History" isn't about art history. It's a kind of 'home-movie-porn-movie' movie in which the director Joe Swanberg plays the director of a porn movie with feelings for, (in lust with?), his leading actress played by the actress/director Josephine Decker of "Madeline's Madeline" fame. The problem is her leading man, Kent Osborne, is also in lust with her and since all three wrote the screenplay it feels very voyeuristic indeed. It's also like nothing one would want to pay money to see, a narcissistic project about narcissistic people. It's well enough made for what it is but it's not in the least bit erotic despite the copious nudity. In fact, it's enough to put you off sex entirely or, as the old gag has it, 'I'd rather have a cup of tea'.
