Movie Reviews of Dirty Pictures
Movie Review: Following in the footsteps of The People vs. Larry Flint?
Summary: 5 Stars
Dirty pictures in no way follows in the foot steps of The People vs. Larry Flint. This movie is primarily from the perspective of a midwest gallery curator who had brought in a touring exhibit of Robert Mapplethorpe's work. The movie is interlaced with interviews of people who had worked with or had known Mapplethorpe as well as images of his photographic works. This is an Excellent purchase that raises questions in the mind of the veiwer. It is entertaining and to an extent educational on the art of Mapplethorpe, constitutional rights, and how people judge art based on "Their Values and Tastes."
Summary of Dirty Pictures
Shocking. Stunning. Brilliant. These are some of the words that described artist Robert Mapplethorpes controversial 1990 photo exhibit and this "gripping, provocative and alarming" (The Washington Post) film about the show's censorship is equally as captivating. Starring OscarĀ(r) nominees* James Woods (The General's Daughter) and Diana Scarwid (Inside Moves), Dirty Pictures delves into the uproar over right-wing censorship of the arts in a true-to-life talethat is "chilling" (Los Angeles Times)! When the director of the Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center, Dennis Barrie (Woods), books a touring photo exhibit of the late Robert Mapplethorpe, he knows he's brought a major-league event to town. But when the Cincinnati sheriff (Craig T. Nelson) sees the sexually explicit photos, he shuts down the show charging Barrie with peddling obscenity! Determined to stand his ground, Barrie faces trial and risks losing his joband his familyto protect the right promised to every American by the Constitution'the freedom of expression! * Woods: Supporting Actor, Ghosts of Mississippi (1996); Actor, Salvador (1986); Scarwid: Supporting Actress, Inside Moves (1993)Similar DVD Movies
