After Modernism: The Dilemma of Influence

About This Movie

So, 'After Modernism: The Dilemma of Influence' is this fascinating exploration of how modernism has evolved since the 1960s. It digs into how various artists and cultures, often sidelined, have reshaped the narrative. The vibe is kind of reflective, almost meandering, as it meanders through the layers of influence and appropriation. What really stands out is the way younger artists are depicted as scavengers of culture, taking bits and pieces from everywhere to create something new. It's not flashy, and it doesn't rely on heavy visuals or effects, but rather on the weight of the discourse it presents. If you're into the dialogue surrounding art and its evolution, this one's definitely worth a watch.

'After Modernism' is quite a rarity in the collector world, often overshadowed by flashier titles. Its scarcity in physical formats can make it tricky to find, especially on VHS or any DVD releases. Still, there’s a niche interest among those who appreciate its insightful commentary on art's evolution, so it sometimes pops up in specialized auctions or collections focused on art cinema. If you come across a copy, it might be worth snagging for the right fan.
