Chew the Fat

About This Movie

So, 'Chew the Fat' is this intriguing documentary that gives you a peek into the lives of 12 artists, all captured through Rirkrit Tiravanija's lens. It really feels more like a series of intimate conversations than a traditional doc. The pacing is laid back, almost leisurely, allowing you to soak in each artist's perspective, their quirks, their thoughts. It's not flashy; it relies on authenticity and the rawness of these discussions. Visually, it’s pretty minimalistic, focusing on the artists and their dialogue. You might find it distinctive because of how it shifts the typical art documentary mold into something more personal and relatable. No frills, just real talk about art and life.
