“A timeless meditation on love, loss, and art.”
—Aviva Dove-Viebahn, Ms. Magazine

“One of those great, evocative New Queer Cinema movies of the 1990s that captures New York in all its seediness and desperate ambition.”
—IndieWire

“HIGH ART is so perceptive and mature it makes similar films seem flippant.”
—Roger Ebert

Lisa Cholodenko’s coolly confident debut tracks a troubled photographer (Ally Sheedy) and an ambitious newcomer (Radha Mitchell) whose electric connection — sparked while on assignment for a major magazine — spirals into obsession and ruin. One of the defining films of New Queer Cinema, HIGH ART is a sleek, incisive look at love, ambition, and self-destruction.
