Plot: This satire of the art world springs from this question: What matters more, the art or the artist? Floundering artist Gus Bishop (Chris Eigeman, Barcelona) can't get a gallery to even conside...( read more read more... )r his work. Then a thief breaks into Bishop's studio and steals one of his paintings, which--after the thief concocts a dramatic and sorrowful life for the reclusive artist--sells for $10,000. The lure of easy money helps the thief convince Bishop to manufacture a hoax and turn this fictional artist into an art star. Before long, Bishop finds monstrous success that he can't take any credit for, and a girlfriend who dumped him when he was a failure decides to blackmail him for a share of the loot. Though The Next Big Thing has some lapses in logic, Eigeman's unique combination of innocence and cynicism carry the film along. --Bret Fetzer
