I just re-watched High Art on the IFC the other night. The last time I saw it I was not as "seasoned" as I am now. I was just blown completely away by the complexities of all the characters. I mean there are so many subtexts within this movie that it made it more than your typical wanna be artsy lesbian movie. Even without the lesbian factor, I still love this movie. Patricia Clarkson's Greta is such a great character. It still blows my mind. I mean this story is not just about love but the idea of being surrounded by the worst parts of you and having such an ambivalent reaction to it.(STOP, SPOILER, INFERRING CLIMAX) Amazing. Re-watching this movie made me ask myself, "Does changing yourself for the better really mean you have to die? One way or the other?" Wow, I'm sorry if you're reading this and wondering what the hell I am talking about. I just really love this movie. It is such an enjoyable, uncomfortable movie to watch.
