Lisa Cholodenko’s High Art is one of my all time favorite movies and is showing on what seems like a constant loop on the Sundance Channel. If you are a creative person living in any big city, you might want to check it out. It looks at art from dual perspectives: that of someone who struggles to be taken seriously, and that of someone who has always been celebrated for her talent and can’t deal with it, and how they end up pushing each other. It’s a great slice of NYC life and feels really clean and direct.
And also, Ally Sheedy.
