This IS softcore porn
I can't see how people can redeem the numerous models posing naked as art, it seems like the movie tries to justify it a little too literally by saying "look it's not porn because he's an artist, it can't be porn because he's an artist". The audience isn't that stupid, but by being so heavy with the idea it's basically forced a branding of porn. A nice idea taken to such extremes and frankly, there's too much nudity, I got the idea quickly but the dull repetition just reminded me how far from art this actually was. Life imitating art, this is porn imitating art. This is a pretentious movie and I feel like the main message is "if you aren't an artist you won't get it". Ben's World is full of people who are idiots who don't see the same way he does, the only exceptions are the people who he paints, it's a mysogenistic concept where if you aren't an artist you're either an idiot or a model... I'm none of the above.
