Movie Reviews of Kill The Artist (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Review by Phil Hall - FilmThreat
Summary: 4 Stars
Be forewarned: Andreas Troeger's documentary "Kill the Artist," an examination on extreme art, is not for the squeamish. The film is packed with drawings, photographs, film footage and video clips of performance art that shreds all known concepts of good taste - torture, mutilation, and scatological humiliation are part for the course here.
Included in the mix is artist Mark Diana (who was arrested and briefly jailed in Florida in 1994 for creating obscene comic books), filmmakers Richard Kern and Jörg Buttgereit, and the self-described "sadist" known as The Baroness. They are represented with plenty of graphic examples of their respective work. There is also a clip from a film called "The Woman on the Door" that purportedly shows a woman dying during a rough bondage sex session. Kill The Artist
Summary of Kill The Artist (Widescreen Edition)
"Kill The Artist" reveals the extreme measures lawmakers and critics go through to censor Avant-Garde artists, who walk the fine line between art, perversion, religion and devious sexual behavior. "Kill The Artist" is a documentary about artists who got into trouble with the law because of their art-works. Even cartoonist Mike Diana was indicted in his home state of Florida for indecency. He was charged with three counts of obscenity in 1994, spent time in prison and was not allowed to draw for three years. In 2003, after fleeing to New York, Mike showed his artwork in a secret exhibition in Brooklyn. Using never before seen footage along with rare films from Richard Kern, Nick Zedd and German filmmakers Jörg Buttgereit and Olaf Ittenbach, Kill The Artist takes a look at the ultimate power play -- Sex and Death. In the film Richard Kern says, "We wanted it to be as hard as possible. The only restriction we had was, who would do what we wanted to be done." While in the western world violent life like re-enactments of rape and death on film thrive, investigative Journalist and author Yaron Svoray, explains in the film that the reality of sex crimes show how cheap life really can be. His investigation of snuff-movies leads him into the war in Bosnia. As Svoray explains: "Eventually two or three girls are pulled into a classroom and there is a communal rape. When it's finished, one of the guys just says, 'kill the bitches.'" Diana says of the experience: "In a way it was almost flattering that they would feel so strongly. I felt that my artwork must have been effective." "Kill The Artist" reveals the extreme measures lawmakers and critics go through to censure avant-garde artists who walk the fine line between art, perversion, religion and devious sexual behavior.Similar DVD Movies
