Fun and profound

I had a really great time with this one. I've only recently moved to New York and found an artistic community here, and I'm not at all familiar with the art scene in Berlin, so watching these two communities interact showed me a new side of things I wouldn't have otherwise encountered. The visuals are amazing, and it's fun to just hang out with this group of artists for a bit. They touch on a lot of deep subject matter regarding art in the Western world, but this film is overwhelmingly fun, and mostly it just feels like you're tagging along with the coolest group of artists on elaborate adventures.

Not for serious art enthusiasts

There is nothing in this movie that you probably haven't seen. Do yourself a favour and watch Simon Schama instead. This movie is boring and uninteresting. For anyone who went to art school it may remind you of that naive time in your life when you felt like you knew it all and making a mess of public and private property was totally dope. The problem here is that the message is dated and so is the cast as they resort to art gimmicks and graffiti pranks that were hip some time before 2008. If you pay attention to current art trends and art markets, you've already seen this movie. Don't waste your time watching this film. Very lame.

Euro trip

I started watching thanks to my obsession for Berlin. The film presents the journey of some young and impassioned artists. Overall the film was pretty boring, and the art was not great either. I felt like a tag along on someone else's post-college European trip. This is basically a check off that I watched this thing at one point in my life.

The Antagonist Art Movement's collective endeavor to make art in Berlin away from their New York home.

The Antagonist Movement consists of an amazing group of artists who make art without pretension. By following the day-to-day experiences during their trip to Berlin, this documentary exhibits a down-to-earth and accessible side of art; It shows the heart and soul of art's intentions and value, and delves deeper than many "high-art" venue would today.

The documentary itself is a creative work involving various kinds of animations created by Antagonist members. It focuses on individual artists' work and, by doing so, shows how the members of the movement mesh.

"This is Berlin, Not New York" illustrates why street art and lowbrow is becoming this decade's art paradigm. No artist should miss this, nor any art agent, nor art lover.
