Art Is Dark and Full of Horrors

2026 · 122 min

A biting, boozy crawl through vanity and backstabbing, funny and sour in equal measure, leaving a faintly nasty aftertaste.

Overview: This corrosive satire of the Mexican art world unfolds during a week of ferocious preening, dealing and partying. Star artist Chema rules the scene – but if he falls, every vulture of the art market is ready to swoop in.
How it feels: Satirical, cynical, dark and absurd. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Art, ambition, power, corruption
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
