It is one of the best films ever made about the sexual attraction and romance between women.
High art combines bold ideas like ambition, inspiration, love and their cost within the turbulent world of being an artist and then matching it with sincere performances and a stark but stripped-down camera style.
High Art is a self-conscious and haunting examination of two lives that intersect, painfully and without mercy. Cholodenko built her characters and their romance by using real material of very solid quality. This is the reason behind this picture’s irresistible allure.
True to its name in every fascinating frame, such stellar stuff is truly…High Art.
