- 'Beau Travail' (1999) Director: Claire Denis. Beau Travail is a film that’s unwilling to spell too many things out, instead feeling intensely emotional and even somewhat mysterious at times, but nevertheless still gives viewers tons to think about both during and after the film.
- 'Stalker' (1979) Director: Andrei Tarkovsky. A definitive and singular science fiction film, Stalker is an eerie and mesmerizing film from Andrei Tarkovsky, and stands as perhaps the greatest one he ever made during his directing career.
- 'Holy Motors' (2012) Director: Leos Carax. You could call Holy Motors a work of fantasy, but you could also call it just about anything else… or forego trying to label it with a genre at all, because it’s incredibly obscure, confronting, and unwaveringly strange.
- 'Days of Heaven' (1978) Director: Terrence Malick. More than three decades before The Tree of Life was released, Terrence Malick reached his arguable peak with the release of Days of Heaven.

This film is a graphic biopic about the controversial and tragic life of Mexican Surrealist painter Frida Kahlo, played by Salma Hayek. She was married to the philandering painter Diego Rivera, played by Alfred Molina. Together, the outrageous and legendary pair became the most acclaimed artists in Mexican history. The splendid film follows both Ka...
This may be the most well known movie for art lovers on the planet. But this 2000 classic earns its keep. Jackson Pollock was the bad boy of the postwar New York art world, a testosterone-fueled society of brash artists. They drank and raged as much as they painted. Pollock was a pioneer of the Abstract Expressionist movement, inventing the “drip” ...
Caravaggio was the bad boy of the Baroque period in art history. He lead a life of violence and intrigue. He murdered a man and may have been murdered himself. His dramatic paintings were a mirror of his dramatic life. He revolutionized the art world with his use of chiaroscuro and emotional, naturalistic renderings. Caravaggio is a British drama, ...
This four part BBC documentary takes a look at whether our troubled Caravaggio may have been murdered. Most historians think he died at age 37 of a physical ailment — complications from constant boozing, lead poisoning from his paints, malaria, etc. But Caravaggio had a history of fighting, dueling, and getting into scrapes. He would be embraced by...
In Tim Burton’s Big Eyes, Amy Adams plays stifled artist Margaret Keane. She’s exploited by her husband, wannabe artist Walter Keane. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Margaret painted portraits of sad, saucer eyes waifs. Walter (played by a creepy Christoph Waltz) takes credit for her work, insisting that women artists “don’t sell.” With marketin...
This Julian Schnabel biopic is a great movie for art lovers. It chronicles the truncated life of Jean-Michel Basquiat, a graffiti artist who rose to fame in the1980s. With the help of art world Wizard of Oz Andy Warhol (played by David Bowie), virtually overnight Basquiat becomes the leader of Neo-Expressionist painting. He goes from scribbling on ...
Loving Vincent is an animated film imagining the last months of tormented Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh. The film charmingly explores Van Gogh’s life and supposed self-inflicted death from a gunshot wound. Although accepted wisdom is that Van Gogh killed himself, there’s ample evidence that he may have been murdered. The film is...
Rodin is an excellent dramatic film for art lovers. The French artist Auguste Rodin is considered the father of modern sculpture. You will likely known him from his most famous pieces —The Kiss, The Thinker, and the Gates of Hell. Rodin was passionate and absurdly talented, his works a torrent of expressive power. While his titular film is rather i...
Camille Claudel is a serious dramatic film about the life of sculptor Camille Claudel, with a heavy dose of her ill-fated relationship with her mentor Auguste Rodin. It’s a lusty biopic with Isabella Adjani and Gerard Depardieu in the starring roles. When Rodin notices the raw sculpting talent of a precocious Claudel, like moth to flame, the two ar...
Surviving Picasso is told from the POV of one of Spanish artist Pablo Picasso’s long time loves and fellow artist, Francoise Gilot. Picassois played by Anthony Hopkins. The film explores the union of the manipulative legend and the young artist. It’s based primarily on Ariana Huffington’s book Picasso Creator and Destroyer, not Gilot’s own autobiog...
- At Eternity's Gate. If you're a fan of Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh, this is the film for you. Led by an incredible (and Oscar-nominated) performance from Willem Dafoe, At Eternity's Gate follows the final years of Van Gogh's life as a mostly unappreciated artist living in France.
- Midnight In Paris. When nostalgic novelist Gil wanders around the streets of Paris late at night for inspiration, he finds himself taken back through time and away from his fiancée to Paris' roaring 1920s.
- Mr. Turner. From British director Mike Leigh, Mr. Turner explores the final 25 years of famed British painter JMW Turner. The biopic drama delves into the flaws and brilliance of the growling romantic painter and watercolourist.
- Saving Banksy. What happens when the very artworks intended to scathingly subvert and criticise the world of art collection, greed and capitalism become commodified and sold into that very system?
