Initially I found Untitled quite amusing in its parody of the contemporary art world, and its pretentions. As it proceeded the characters' personal idiosyncrasies came to the fore as problematic, taking away from the comic tone. It became a character study. The second phase was less endearing, more artsy, and bordering on tedious. They couldn't take themselves seriously and questioned what they were doing. The situation was left unresolved.

Quite eccentric. Quiet. Subtle. Just like its own storyline...

Probably the worse movie I've ever seen!!

Skewering satire of the New York art scene. Great fun.

It does a good job of making fun of what passes for art but then makes you look at it long enough to appreciate it.

far from perfection yet very original

If you've ever been annoyed by an art-snob, this will make you laugh. I'm not sure if art-snobs will get the laughing with or AT you vibe..

As a composer of "experimental" music earlier in my life, I could relate to just about every aspect of the Adam Goldberg character's life (except for the sexual relationship with a beautiful art gallery owner). The sparse crowds, resentful performers and moneyed "fauxhemians" in particular resonated with me. I also enjoyed other quirky touches, especially the unnamed bass clarinetist, simply called "The Clarinet." My own studies in composition came to an abrupt end when my work turned toward lampooning "experimental" music, something that the composition department at my school didn't look upon kindly.

Clever satiric criticism on today'd modern art.

As aggressively arty as its title, "(Untitled)" is ostensibly about a romance between an avant-garde musician (Adam Goldberg, sporting his usual neanderthal scowl) and a trendy gallery owner (delicious Marley Shelton), but the script has more provocative questions in mind about art itself. Does it require technical skill? Can it be created or collected for profit? What ingredients are off-limits? Can music have no tempo or key? Can everyday objects make music? Aesthetic issues like this rarely come up in a romantic comedy, and the far-out musical pieces (mostly conceived by composer David Lang) are alternately fun and exasperating to behold. The film takes an interesting turn as it goes, initially presenting experimental works as something arcane and impressive (too much for the common man -- hmpf!) but gradually becoming more critical to imply a hollow charade between artist and patron. Zak Orth adds some sharp scenes as a flaky, nouveau-riche collector who buys art to make himself feel important, and Vinnie Jones plays a British conceptual artist who may be a cruel parody of Damien Hirst. Ptolemy Slocum is quite funny as a listless "visionary" who sticks Post-It notes on walls and calls them conceptual art, while Eion Bailey (currently seen on 온라인카지노추천's "Once Upon a Time") is Goldberg's deluded painter brother, churning out interchangeable product that reaps unholy riches as doctor's-office fodder. The script is rather heavy-handed in making its points, but the setting is unusual enough to be oddly refreshing.

If you're neither musician, art maker, nor a lover of the latter, you won't get this film. HOWEVER, if the names John Cage and Robert Rauschenberg ring a bell, then you might just love it. I definitely did.

I loved this very funny movie. it expertly plays both sides when it comes to revering and mocking the art world and its pretensions/aspirations. Best indie movie I've seen in many a moon.

this film posed some very interesting questions about the nature of art and was thoroughly amusing. i had seen it a few years ago and hated it, but watching it again, had more appreciation for its subtleties. definitely not a film for the masses but if you're a pretentious hipster with the ability to laugh at yourself, you'll like it.

interesting view into the world of art. however folks could view the movie as less of a satire if they see it as one art critic's fallen path in an otherwise non-hypocrital world.

Not a great, but an entertaining movie, that makes fun of contemporary art and music.

This movie is f-ing hilarious!

Finally a movie about Avant-Garde music. Very fun and intelligent. Great soundtrack by David Lang! Highly recommended!

Very odd. I loved it and hated it at the same time.

if you like creative music and art and unique movie then you'll enjoy this

One could see and hear the local modern art gallery many times over. I guess the government has to support 'modern art' as actually good art can support itself.
