(Untitled)

High art is both lampooned and championed in Parker’s knowing satire. Adam Goldberg is well-cast as the movie’s brooding musician Adrian, a “sound artist” whose sparsely attended cacophonous concerts drive even his otherwise supportive parents to the exit doors. To make matters worse, his brother Josh is a successful artist. Their sibling tensions remain under wraps until Josh’s girlfriend, Madeleine, an influential downtown art gallerist, invites Adrian to perform in her gallery. With an interest first piqued by the unique sound that Madeleine’s synthetic skirt makes, Adrian grows increasingly attached to this angel, with whom he becomes sexually involved. The film’s plot, however, is merely a structure on which Parker hangs his mockery of modern-art practitioners and their devotees. Even though Parker’s satire often pulls its punches, the performances are, nevertheless, stellar, and narrative movies that treat the making of art seriously are a rare breed indeed.
