Jerome finds his dreams of becoming a world-famous artist quashed when he enters a prestigious East Coast art school. Faced with many different personalities, he realizes his arrogant manner and mediocre work won't get him very far. When a girl catches his eye but seems to be interested in a clueless jock, he hatches a plan to gain her interests that, inadvertently, includes a murder accusation.
If the names of director Terry Zwigoff and screenwriter Daniel Clowes weren't prominently credited on Art School Confidential, this melancholy comedy might be mistaken for an inferior imitation of their Ghost World. The thematic and tonal overlap between the two films is considerable, and this second collaboration is entirely true to the idiosyncratic spirit of that earlier work. But despite a soulful leading performance from Max Minghella, pic feels insubstantial, echoing without equaling both the coolly ironic edge and heart of Ghost World and the incisive art-world outsider portrait of the director's docu feature, Crumb. Breakout beyond specialized niches appears d...
There'll never be another Ghost World
Well, I'm a big fan of Ghost World. But not only that, I love all Daniel Clowes comics too. So I couldn't help creating huge expectations about 'Art School Confidential' when i heard about it. Not only that, the film's got John Malkovich in it and my so loved Steve Buscemi (just in a very short appearance by the way, but it doesn't matter, he's always worth watching :)
I wouldn't say that I loved the film, but I know this is just because I have seen 'Ghost World' before. Said that, Art School has the same sort of rhythm, the very odd and funny characters and absolutely amazing quotes from start to end, just as any d. clowes comics or film. <...
Art School Confidential Downbeat satirical comedy set in and around the world of pretentious art school hipsters. John Malkovich and Jim Broadbent are among the stars, Terry Zwigoff directs
Artistic misfit Jerome Platz (Minghella) heads to the one place he believes he'll fit in: art school. He's disillusioned from the off. His fellow students are pretentious idiots, he doesn't spend the entire time sleeping with beautiful women and, oh yes, there's a murderer on campus.
When director Terry Zwigoff and comic-book writer and artist Daniel Clowes last collaborated on a movie, the result was the quietly wonderful Ghost World. Basically a movie-length version of that film's art c...

i was extremely disappointed when i saw this movie. the story is totally unoriginal, i didn't laugh once, and the acting made me cringe. it was REALLY bad.
So, this movie wasn't top notch. Then again, not many movies are anymore. This movie is lacking expensive actors/actresses, but you will still see some familiar faces. The overtone of this movie is actually the satire of art schools. It has great dialouges of students critiquing other work, and it is exactly the random, artsy-fartsy garbage you hear. The movie isn't roll-on-the-floor funny, but the satire is comical.
