蔡国强是当代最富争议的艺术家，他的当代艺术作品常常千奇百怪，但其中又和当代的政治与哲学有着奇妙的勾连。他最为国人所知的艺术作品就是08年奥运会的烟火“大脚丫”了。 　　近三年来，他受卡塔尔博物馆的委托，策划了大型艺术展《艺术怎么样？来自中国的当代艺术》，这其中参展的不仅有艺术界的大牛、已展露天赋的年轻艺术家，还有一辈子与艺术摸不着边的农民。 　　也许你会误以为这是一场中国当代艺术的成果拼盘。不是的！《艺术怎么样？》是这些年蔡国强和所有参展的中国艺术家，对一直在思考的一个问题的提问。 　　中国当代艺术水平究竟如何？艺术家贡献多大？长期以来，国内外对中国当代艺术的关注更多在中国社会的政治议题、国家历史和大文化叙述，以及在艺术市场上的天价新闻，但以上这些基本而核心的问题却很少被讨论。 　　蔡国强丢了一句话给中国的当代艺术和艺术家：“究竟艺术怎么样？” 　　近70分钟的展览同名纪录片，由夏姗姗导演、33 Studio制作，是继多哈重磅亮相后的国内首映。片中蔡国强自述策展目标，亦萃取他与艺术家和专家直击人心的问答。艺术家与策展人的双中身份利用摄影机聚焦中国当代艺术迟迟未被正视的挫折与焦虑，但影片步步紧逼的悲观最后，看到的却是希望。

巴西政变，1964；文革，1966；布拉格之春，1968；巴黎五月风暴，1968。导演若昂·莫雷拉·塞勒斯发现已故母亲四十年前拍下的片段，她在文革爆发当年到过中国，亲眼见证革命理想的幻象，与个人崇拜的疯狂。那是个火红年代，同一天空下，巴西的左倾总统因美国撑腰的军事政变而流亡海外， 捷克的民主运动如火如荼却遭到苏联坦克镇压，巴黎学生则占领校园让革命之火席卷全国。鉴古知今，塞勒斯以类似克里斯·马克的诗意光影沉思，回溯半世纪前的浩瀚波澜。

The closing titles say The Two Sights was “collected” on various islands of the Outer Hebrides from 2017–19, but what does the film gather? There are the images, captured on 16mm, which survey all this ravishing landscape contains, taking in its rocky cliffs, beaches and plains, alighting on its flora and fauna and the houses and ships sprinkled over it, picking out currents, reflections and shifts in light. Then there are the sounds, recorded with the mic visible in the first shots, keening birds, the roaring wind, the crashing, gurgling, trickling of the water. In voiceover, a whole anthology of tales can be heard, narrated in both English and Gaelic, stories of dog skeletons, drowned villages, and family members passing away, although songs, silence and the shipping forecast are just as at home there. But like any great collection, it’s not about the individual elements, but how they overlap, about how the crow hanging on barbed wire conjures up another story never told, about how the ripples seem to reverberate along with the woman’s harmonies, about how each anecdote floats over the rushing air. Sight by eye, sight by ear, two sights that ripple and flow together.

From swingers clubs filled with sex-seekers of all ages and body types to libidinous limo rides, a Tokyo S&M hotel, the UK Torture Garden Club, and an amputation fetishist who gets his kicks by slicing off body parts, documentary filmmaker Raphael Sibilla teams with producer Emmanuel Prevost to offer an unflinching look at transgressive sexual practices across the globe. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
