i was never really into the arty farty type of film that tries to extend the boundaries so to speak.
i enjoyed the book clockwork orange but not so much the film. i think they screwed up.
that said who dictates what good art or bad art? i have to admit that cows cut in half and building draped in white paper don't rock my boat. i can and do see the symbolism in such works but for me it's the very symbolism that detracts from what i perceive as art.
so a house covered in paper represents how we ruined the landscape. a small piece of text could have done the same thing much better.
dissected animals in formaldehyde are no better, nor a toilet on a wall etc. for me art is much more than representation or symbolism,
i don''t what it is but for me a lot of the crap out there on the screen and in the galleries isn't art.
