New York becomes a dangerous world of sex, art and drugs for one young woman drawn into a love triangle.
In High Art, Lisa Cholodenko’s New York is a centre for decadent denizens. Syd, an aspiring photography magazine editor, meets Lucy, a once-celebrated art photographer, and her heroin-addicted girlfriend Greta, a Fassbinder actress seemingly still in character. As tensions develop, Syd’s drawn deeper into their dissolute and dangerous world of sex, art and drugs.
