The Great Contemporary Art Bubble (2009)
On September 15th 2008, the day of the the collapse of Lehmans, the worst financial news since 1929, Damien Hirst sold over £60 million of his art, in an auction at Sotheby’s that would total £111 million over two days. It was the peak of the contemporary art bubble, the greatest rise in the financial value of art in the history of the world. One art critic and film-maker was banned by Sotheby’s and Hirst from attending this historic auction: Ben Lewis.

Please don't spend money on this.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
