Art is either revolution or plagiarism

Paul Gauguin
About This Quote

Arthouse films are defined by their political or artistic themes. This is especially true with films dealing with genocide, civil rights, and other issues that touch on the injustices experienced by large groups of people. When the films are original and revolutionary, they are called art films. However, when they are rehashed remakes of already established films, they are called plagiarism films.
