According to Adam Goldberg, Untitled is a small indie flick. It’s a dry satire about an avant-garde composer who is a bit surly and indignant about his music, and is really convinced that anything commercial is valueless. He has a successful brother who creates bad abstract expressionist art. He sells it out of the backroom of a gallerist played by Marley Shelton, who is ashamed by his work but actually manages to make a living by selling it. In the front of the gallery she displays more innovative non-commercial art. The gallerist falls for Adam Goldberg (Adam Goldberg in the movie). So the film is kind of a take on how and what happens when these worlds collide and what the actual definition of art is.
You really have to see this movie because: 1. There are different points of view from: the gallery owner, the collector, the sellers and the creators. 2. It's a good critical of the current art world. 3. It’s nice to see how an artist have to be “strange/funny/disorientated” to be considerated. The movie reminds us how much each group/tribe needed points of reference. If you don’t look like an artist you can’t be one. It’s a shame but in each group since the dawn of time the mimetism exists. This movie is fun, satire and so true, so GO ! Furthermore, it’s good to know that the music was written by the Pulitzer Price winning composer David Lang.
