Art school confidential [videorecording] / United Artists and Sony Pictures Classics present a Mr. Mudd production ; produced by Lianne Halfon, John Malkovich, Russell Smith ; screenplay by Daniel Clowes ; directed by Terry Zwigoff.
Jerome goes to art school in the hopes of having his genuine ability recognized. Instead he finds that his teachers are self-obsessed has-beens and his peers are jaded and floundering. To make matters worse, Jerome finds himself being investigated for a series of gruesome stranglings. He becomes obsessed with a lovely student named Audrey, but she is more interested in the hunky Jonah, whose crude yet acclaimed paintings of cars and tanks make Jerome want to tear his own eyes out.

Talented young artist Jerome Platz escapes from high school to a tiny East Coast art school. Here the freshman's ambition is to become the world's greatest artist, like his hero Picasso. Unfortunately, the beauty and craft of Jerome's portraiture are not appreciated and his harsh judgments of his classmates' efforts don't win him any admirers. But Jerome does attract the attentions of Audrey, an artist's model and daughter of a celebrated artist. Rejecting the affectations of the local art scene, Audrey is drawn to Jerome's sincerity. When Audrey shifts her attentions to Jonah, a hunky painter who becomes the school's latest art star, Jerome is heartbroken. Desperate, he concocts a risky plan to make a name for himself and win her back. - Baker & Taylor
The story of a young and talented painter looking for recognition and finding chaos at a small art school.
