Bad Painter

About This Movie

So, 'Bad Painter' is this wild dive into the psyche of artist Albert Oehlen, directed by him but with Udo Kier taking on his persona. There's this kind of rawness in the atmosphere, almost like you're peeking into a chaotic studio filled with half-finished canvases and scattered thoughts. The pacing is deliberately off-kilter, reflecting the internal struggle of creativity. Kim Gordon plays this interesting dual role, serving as an inner voice and a sort of interrogator. It's not your typical biopic; it feels more like an exploration of artistic identity and the messiness of the creative process. Oehlen’s real-life complexity is mirrored in Kier's performance, and that gives it a distinctive edge. Definitely a film that lingers after the credits roll.
