Best Movie I've seen this year.(It's been a while...this years wasn't that great, or did I missed something?). Charlie Kaufman ( Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Adaptation) takes the idea of art imitating life into many extrem forms. It's a whole aspect of the arts, but Kaufman takes it to an other level, without loosing it. Might be his best movie so far. It's packed & stuffed with ideas, big & small ones, that do fit well together. I need to see it a second time. Going from the dollhouse idea to SecondLife and from spying to translation. All these imitations of our lifes or other peoples lifes. It's also a depressing movie, but in a strange good way.
It's very very J-L Borges, and probably hundreds of other writers. But there's also a lot of things in it that reminded me of stuff happening in the visual arts at the moment.
Georg Schneider, Christopher Bücher and other hyperealistic sculptors.
What does the artist? Why, and why the artist keeps on failing, for ever and ever and ever.
