Review of Boogie Woogie (2010) by Moore S — 21 Jul 2010

Obviously this movie tries hard to be smart (or just clever?) and cynical on the absurdities of avant-garde world of upper-class art galleries. and the story all begins with an abstract art-piece called boogie-woogie, then you see how those top-drawer people cold-bloodedly turns every monstrosity of life into a justified name of art, like the picture of burned victim, live lesbian porno documentary, the remains from a girl's miscarriage...and the crew of art-people are all promiscuous perverts who attempt to profit from others' misfortunes and exploit them as some potentiality of an artsy piece...everyone is grinning with sheer horrifying artistic delight at the end of movie..under its disjointed surface of interweaven stories of its characters, the movie does have a message to express, that is what redeems it from a complete bore. (frankly it's kinda dreary and not so fun to watch).

The sardonic part is that heather graham who makes her career turning point by the roller-girl role in boogie nights now decides to dive into a live-cam lesbian porno scene while amanda seyfried inherits her roller-skating shoes to wriggle her butt around to tantalize every male passerby (what a homage to boogie nights).

Yes, the movie features a lot of lesbian scenes but none of them are hot at all. now I finally grasp that sex is only enticing (to me) only when there's some passion and smoldering emotions which successfully transpires through the actors' beautiful bodies and angelic faces, whether it's MF or FF or MM..(now I realize the romanticist part in me, thanks to this movie for being so abrasive on that subject matter). and frankly the actress who plays the lesbian artist is annoying (who cares what her name is), or as a matter of face, every character in boogie woogie is despicably narcissistic, inhumanly objectionable and ridiculously goofy except the characters of gillian anderson and amanda seyfried.(who, at least, have some basic decency and salvaging innocence).
