(Untitled) Film: Too Strange or Brilliant?


I'm on the fence about the new film (Untitled), directed by Jonathon Parker being playing November 6th.   The film is a bit unusual, but then again... so is art to an extent.  

Adrian Jacobs (Adam Goldberg), a composer who finds art in unconventional music and bucket kicking is finding it difficult to get his message within his "Art" across as many find the medium difficult to accept.  Adrian is constantly reminded of success through art by his brother Josh (Eion Bailey), a big-time successful painter adored by corporate clients and big spenders.  Adrian then meets Madeleine (Marley Shelton) at one of his shows who happens to own a Gallery.  She falls for him and his music and introduces him to a world of unusal art collectors and artists who share a passion for atypical art.  
I don't know if I'm totally against going to see this film.  I imagine it would be abnormal, as art usually is, but there is a message within that most cannot see.   I'm kinda glad that Parker has come up with a fresh new satire that pokes fun of the contemporary art scene in New York.  It boggles my mind what some people call art and how much money people will dish out for it...
