I thought this was going to be a commentary on art, patronage, and the unhealthy relationship some fans have with the artist, but it ended up being more about the artists’ relationship including their art….and then it goes back to my original thesis. All while being comedic and grappling with the past!
Such a uniquely sad and annoying character. The Brits are very good at that! Hilarious in the most tiresome way
The lantern-tracking shot was very neat.
Loved the music! Beautiful film!
