Boogie Woogie (2009)
3/10
Hideous - the total doesn't equal the sum of the parts

I'm guessing keeping each of the scenes so short is to keep the character development to a minimum. So what we're left with is just a very shallow group of "artists." I think the most contemptible of the characters is Elaine (Jaime Winstone) who seems to gain some gratification from taking video of people she pretends to care for when they are in pain. A threat from a "friend" to commit suicide is treated like so much dirt laundry. But then all the characters are petty. The only character you are left to feel compassion for are Alfred Rhinegold (Christopher Lee) and Paige Oppenheimer (Amanda Seyfried)

I am not an art lover or a foodie, the fascination with either confounds. I'd much rather see a real flower than a painting of one. I do hope this does not accurately represent those in the art world.

The actors do a decent job. But Gillian Anderson's accent is awful and not believable. I wouldn't recommend this unless you've nothing better to do.
