***capturing the spirit of the bohemian 1960's like a butterfly in a jarThat somehow makes a good film? There are MANY things you can catch the spirits of quite perfectly, that I would not want to be part of.
Need I even list a few of those?
I think that "British"... "Italian"... "Russian"... excuse is rather lame. I can appreciate art from just about any country... as long as it is just that - art. OK... not necessarily art, even... but something of human interest with a dash of imagination thrown in.
I can understand - to a small degree - the warm feelings of familiarity. I could probably relate to a few things many people would find objectionable, as they were part of my growing up. I would not, however, consider that fact as sufficient to elevate something I would otherwise would not want to see, to the art status.
