Art School Confidential

Art School Confidential (2006)

Ambitious art school student Jerome Platz (Max Minghella) goes to extremes to conquer the art world -- and to get the girl -- in Terry Zwigoff's dark comedy. When his pure genius goes ignored and a brainless jock tempts his dream girl, Audrey (Sophia Myles), Jerome sets in motion a brazen plan to become an art world hero and win Audrey's heart. John Malkovich, Jim Broadbent, Matt Keeslar, Anjelica Huston and Ethan Suplee star.

My Two Cents: Works best when it over plays the anti-establishment stereotypes of the eccentric cast; misses the mark when it puts itself too much in the hands of the brooding lead character.
