CGiii Comment
How the hell did Duncan Ward land this job?
In '89, he co-directed an arty little piece and that's it...until this - a dreadfully titled - homage to the contemporary art scene...
And, it is a bitter disappointment in every way possible and on every level - even though there is only one level and that is a millimetre above the mundane.
The camcorder stuff is just plain annoying.
The big names should be ashamed that they ran wild around a director with neither vision nor control. You are all as much to blame.

The(ir) Blurb...
In London's contemporary art world, everyone has a hustle. Art Spindle runs a high-end gallery: he hopes to flip a Mondrian for millions. One of his assistants, Beth, is sleeping with Art's most acquisitive client, Bob Macclestone. Beth wants Bob to set her up in her own gallery, so she helps him go behind Art's back for the Mondrian. Bob's wife, Jean, sets her eye on a young conceptual artist, Jo, who lusts after Art's newest assistant, Paige. Meanwhile, self-absorbed lesbian videographer Elaine is chewing her way through friends and lovers looking to make it: if she'll throw Dewey, her agent, under the bus, Beth may give her a show. And the Mondrian? No honor among thieves.
