art school confidential

one of our favorite comic book authors daniel clowes wrote a new script for a film: art school confidential. the film is directed by terry zwigoff, who also directed ghost world, based on clowes' comic book with the same title. the film stars john malkovich, max minghella, anjelica huston and sophia myles. art school confidential follows jerome (minghella), an art student who dreams of becoming the greatest artist in the world. the film expands on a short comic story by dan clowes that was originally published in his comic book series eightball, though features an entirely new narrative only tangentially resembling the original comic.
