He is attempting to achieve the impossible. The students are spoiled narcissists, suckups, politicking weasels, imitators, or mindless followers of fashion -- all of them looking for validation outside themselves. It makes zero sense.

As a teen, Jerome is not much luckier, but is both ambitious to getting into the fancy pants Strathmore Institute, a New York art school, and to getting the girl (Audrey, seen in the school's literature). Art School Confidential‘s also full of Freudian confusion, which becomes obvious when we belatedly discover that the heroine dislikes the work of a particular painter simply because he’s her father.

Like nobody, least of all the artists with an eye for detail, which included Jerome, had any idea that there was something up with the paintings? Art School Confidential is the second. The basic activities of drawing and painting are sometimes seen as a form of bluffing and an escape from “real” life, and a key macho, post-Freudian premise seems to be that getting even with bullies and getting laid are the two main motives for becoming an artist — a thesis that’s illustrated as soon as the movie starts, when Clowes’s stand-in Jerome (Max Minghella) gets bullied on a playground. By this point we’ve also met Jerome’s two roommates — a blowhard film student who’s making a movie about the serial killings and a fashion major who’s in comic denial about his own gayness. Drawn to Strathmore by a photo of a nude artists’ model on a brochure and still a virgin when he arrives, Jerome is obviously provoked by Bardo’s remark during his first drawing class that “this school is like a pussy buffet” and by his later comment that Audrey (Sophia Myles), Jerome’s dream model, is “prime real estate.” The movie makes us wince at the gross insensitivity of such remarks, and it makes us wonder about Bardo’s admiration for Jimmy (Jim Broadbent), a cynical, embittered, and alcoholic alumnus we gradually realize is a serial killer who’s been terrorizing the campus.

John Malkovich and Angelica Huston are as dependable as ever as two of the teachers at the school. Then we learn that the classmate is an underground cop hoping to nab the serial killer, and since one of Jimmy’s collages contains a key piece of evidence, Jerome becomes the prime suspect. Some of it, praised by Professor Sandiford, really brings out the differences between thinking one is an artist and actually being one. It’s sole purpose seems to be a biting critique of the art world, (and honestly just people in general) and it certainly succeeds on that level. It’s characteristic of Clowes’s overall disaffection that the comic “Art School Confidential” lists “certain recurring character types [that] appear in every art-school class” and that in the movie Bardo (Joel David Moore), a classmate of Jerome’s, does the same thing. What the closeted character is supposed to signify in Clowes’s critique of art schools is beyond me. Also, if you don’t really know a lot about art, you might be lost for some of the jokes and conversations, but you can hardly blame a film centred around art school for that. Art School Confidential bears a great deal of similarity to Ghost World, which makes perfect sense considering both are directed by Terry Zwigoff and adapted from the respectively named comics of Daniel Clowes, but where the latter excels in the derision of its own characters the former simply doesn’t manage to achieve that same type of detachment.
