John P. McCarthy says … A composite<br />
of Andy Warhol, Chuck Barris and James<br />
Spader, painter Mark Kostabi made his<br />
mark on the art world in the late ’80s by<br />
mass-producing works that studio lackeys<br />
executed and which he signed and promoted.<br />
Oftentimes, he didn’t even come up<br />
with the ideas. Michael Sládek’s entertaining<br />
profile is light fare; his inability to get<br />
behind Kostabi’s façade suggests the artist’s<br />
false front is in fact real—not that that lets<br />
the filmmaker off the hook. Enjoyable, if<br />
not especially satiating, the movie uses<br />
its eclectic soundtrack to do the heavy<br />
thematic lifting. Cue “The Money Song”<br />
from Cabaret.<br />

Richard Mowe says … Isabelle Huppert<br />
gives a superb lead performance as a<br />
Frenchwoman clinging to her plantation<br />
in Africa in the midst of a chaotic regime<br />
change. On her family coffee farm, Huppert<br />
has five days to finish her harvest—only all<br />
of her workers have fled after rumors of a<br />
rebel army’s advance. White Material takes<br />
director Claire Denis back to her childhood<br />
land of Africa. A strong New York Film<br />
Festival bow, the combination of Huppert<br />
and Denis, plus the added bonus of Christopher<br />
Lambert returning to dramatic acting,<br />
should be enough to give White Material<br />
arthouse legs.<br />
