Written by Daniel Clowes, based on his own graphic novel.
He also wrote Ghost World, which Zwigoff also directed, and thus giving a roundabout link to Thora Birch, who was in it.
Ironic view of art establishment as gifted artist Max Minghella (yes, son of) attends art school, finds both teachers and students are more impressed by talentless crap - as is the commercial art world. He attempts to romance Sophia Myles, another Brit known to us from Our Zoo and the Marple Sleeping Murder. Meanwhile roommate Ethan Suplee is trying to make a movie, and there's a strangler on the loose.
With John Malkovich, Jim Broadbent, Matt Keeslar, Anjelica Huston, Steve Buscemi.
The classical music - Strauss' 'An Artist's Life' and Brahms' Hungarian Dance No. 5 - add something.
