To be honest, it is a really obscure flick, in fact, I had actually never heard of it and I ended up watching the damned thing because my sister had given me this DVD as a gift. Well, at least, it was definitely something original and it is rather tricky to describe it. Indeed, it is not really a documentary and I think the best way to describe it would be to call it an auditive poem on how to become/to be an artist. I first wanted to call it a visual poem but it wouldn't have been accurate since nothing really noteworthy occurred visually speaking but it was above all about what the people involved had to tell us. To be honest, I wish they focused only on Iggy Pop and Michel Houellebecq as they were much more interesting and charismatic than the 3 other obscure artists. Of course, I get that their addition was to show that being an artist has nothing to do with being famous but I just didn't care enough about what they had to say. I also thought it was rather anticlimactic to show Iggy Pop driving a very expensive car (was it a Rolls Royce?). Sure, maybe it wasn't his car at all but I think it vastly contradicted what they said through the whole thing. Eventually, even if he had been through all this sh*t through his whole life and career, at the end, he still managed to reach some material comfort or even some luxury. Anyway, to conclude, even if it wasn't always fascinating, it was still a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in experimental movies.ย
