Friday 21. 11. 08 Took the bus into Montpellier today to meet Claire and saw Musée haut, musée bas a new movie by Jean-Michel Ribes. A satiric take on the gallery-going public. It shows a cross-section of gallery visitors from the guy looking for the parking lot only identified by an icon of a famous painter, to an opening of a faux Mapplethorpe show of 300 photos of penises. The film ends with a biblical flood which leaves the survivors clinging to a raft à la The Raft of Medusa by Géricault. A bizarre, clever, funny movie.
