Movie Reviews of Who the #$&% Is Jackson Pollock? (Documentary)
Movie Review: useless documentary on Pollock
Summary: 1 Stars
Useless documentary. The Synopsis says that this dvd is a look into the life and works of Pollock?
It is simply untrue. Instead it is all about some old womam who may or may not have bought a Pollock painting. Who cares? Avoid.
A total waste of time and money.Who the #$&% Is Jackson Pollock? (Documentary)
Summary of Who the #$&% Is Jackson Pollock? (Documentary)
When Teri Horton a 73-year-old former long-haul truck driver with an eighth grade education bought a painting in a thrift shop for five dollars she didn't know that it would pit her against the most powerful people in the art community and perhaps forever change the way art is authenticated around the world. Who The #$&% Is Jackson Pollock? is a rollicking adventure that documents a 15-year war with the art world's inner circle lifts the veil on how art is bought and sold in America and introduces audiences to the funny profane and utterly unforgettable Teri Horton.Running Time: 74 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DOCUMENTARIES/MISC. UPC:?794043107627 Manufacturer No:?N10762Ex-60 Minutes producer Harry Moses made Who the #$&% Is Jackson Pollock?, a favorite documentary film at festivals in 2006. Like an extended 60 Minutes segment, the film presents all aspects of the drama surrounding San Bernadino resident Teri Horton's ten year crusade to certify that her thrift store art purchase is an authentic Jackson Pollock painting worth $60 million. The story, hilarious because of Horton's vibrant, spitfire personality, and because of the absurd lengths she has gone to prove skeptical Pollock experts wrong, extends into a larger sociological discussion of art historical fraud. Gathering forensic evidence to battle art critics and collectors, Horton's attempt to buck the system, which requires provenance and a paper trail to qualify artwork, seems lame. Early on, for example, she claims that the painting was made in a bar at ski resort Mt. Baldy, where several movie stars were snowed in and forced to make artwork together culminating in Pollock's signing the painting with his penis. Interviewed, she explains why she's declared war on the established, discriminatory "art world." As the plot thickens, the viewer chuckles at its absurdity, but also sympathizes with this clever woman who, if anything, deserves some payment simply for her dedication to the cause. --Trinie Dalton
