Vidiots is thrilled to welcome writer/director Lisa Cholodenko for a special screening of her essential tortured lesbian romance High Art.
Lisa Cholodenko’s powerful and complex love story of addiction, ambition, and unexpected attraction is a seminal and powerful work of 90s indie cinema. Set in the seedy and exciting art world and tapping into the “heroin chic” aesthetic and epidemic, this moody and obsessive classic of New Queer Cinema still holds resonance today. A young and up and coming photography editor is pulled into the orbit of an elusive has-been with a heroin addiction and a volatile relationship. As the women grow closer, both find love and new directions for their careers. Powerful, tender, and moving, with incredible performances by Ally Sheedy, Patricia Clarkson, and then-newcomer Radha Mitchell, this is truly High Art.
