This was a few weeks ago but wanted to blog about it, ya dig?
So, Me and Gina got tickets for the premier at the Castro theater a few weeks ago to see a new documentary about one of my favorite artists, David Choe. Eight years in the making, 'Dirty Hands'- The art and crimes of David Choe, directed by Harry Kim, takes you on a serious journey through the last eight years of David's life. You see how he battles with himself, sex, his art, shoplifting, bombing, stints in jail (in a japanese jail for 3 months), soul searching in the Congo, finding God, and his love life. The intro to the movie is quite hilarious. Its Dave giving the intro but while he's speaking, there's three African prostitutes in the background butt naked, shaking their money makers... Needless to say it was pretty funny trying to hear him talk and then you look whats going on behind him and can't help but laugh... Great ice breaker. This movie is as much heart warming as it is heart breaking. As the movie goes on you start to realize how much life experience, pain, and feeling is truly behind his artwork. At least to me it does. It's a very inspiring film and I recommend any art lover or fan of his to go see it for yourself.
Go see this movie.
peace & god bless,
