Dirty Hands

This is a new doc about artist David Choe… If you havent heard about him, hes a pretty intriguing character to say the least. Check out the trailer, its speaks for itself. Somehow I have a feeling that this is going to be Anthony’s or Weston’s new favorite.

Los Angeles artist David Choe’s kaleidoscopic work can be playful, confrontational and sexually frank. His personal life is no less complicated, as revealed by close friend Harry Kim, who documented Choe’s life and crimes from 2000 to 2007. From the manic highs of commercial success and dinosaur hunting in the Congo to the self-destructive lows of Japanese jail sentences and bouts of self-doubt and depression, what begins as a gleeful portrait of a bad-boy artist slowly becomes a poignant celebration of one man’s journey, both artistically and spiritually, toward his own uncertain salvation.
