saw: art school confidential
Begins pretty much the way you'd expect a Clowes-Zwigoff collabo to—loose, funny, offbeat. Then the story falls off a cliff, stumbling through a tedious murder-as-commentary-on-art subplot for what feels like several hours—in some ways recalling Cindy Sherman's ill-advised 1997 cinematic foray Office Killer (maybe that's the joke/how's that for a reference); suffice it to say, the movie never recovers. Grade: C-
