Adrian Jacobs (Adam Goldberg) is a composer and his odd music creation isn’t taking him anywhere. His brother Josh, an artist, is already on the way to the top or at least in the right path and he always makes sure to let Adrian know that. Adrian meets Josh’s girlfriend, Madeleine, a contemporary art gallerist. Adrian and Madeleine begin what it seems to be a professional relation and as they both struggle to make it in the art world they begin to fall for each other without thinking of the outcome. Will Adrian and Madeleine achieve the success they are so desperately looking for?

I have never been the artsy type and what I mean by that is that I don’t exactly over examine a piece. Occasionally, I do praise art, but that’s as far as I go. Untitled is a movie that perhaps isn’t fitting for everyone simply because it emphasizes on others ability to understand what the characters are trying to portray. During my first view I found the movie a bit odd, but perhaps I wasn’t clearly looking for the symbolic representations each character was trying to portray in their performances. During my second view, I was a bit torn by the way the film was advertised. As a comedy it must be able to entertain, don’t get me wrong it had its moments, but more often than none the film managed to become more odd and its comedy was quickly hidden behind each scene.

The story is simple, a man looking to succeed in life by doing that one thing he loves the most, “his art”. Obviously, once you get passed the first 15 minutes of the film, you will begin to wonder if it’s art. Sure, that brings the same old debate of is it art? Or is it not art? Whatever the case is, that’s up to you to decide. The film is witty and smart. Some may find the comedy and some will just find the film boring altogether. Personally, I found it somewhat unpredictable with its way of telling the story of self-rediscovery. I suppose you have to dig deeper into the true meaning of the movie. At first it appears that everything is about Adrian, but what I perceive is Madeleine’s constant perspective of things. Perhaps this is another way to approach the film.

The actors were excellent from Adam Goldberg to Marley Shelton. Particularly, Shelton is brilliant in every possible way. Shelton’s wittiness and ability to embrace her character was magnificent and I don’t think you could have asked any more from her. Also, Adam Goldberg is worth a mention, with his odd performance he really makes this film what it is, a satire of the modern art world. If you are the type that enjoys these obscured comedies then this might be the movie for you. Otherwise, if you expect a laugh out loud comedy better look elsewhere.

(Untitled) arrives on Blu-ray with a 1080p MPEG4-AVC encode framed at 2.35:1 aspect ratio. The film looks very good on Blu-ray, the colors are well reproduced with a well-balanced palette. A few colors excel more than others. Black levels look excellent throughout and that’s a good thing since the film has the majority of scenes in the dark. Skin tones a very natural and lifelike during day time shots, but during some dark scenes the . Fine details look very good throughout the film, but there are a few instances where the image looks soft. Overall, (Untitled) looks good on Blu-ray.

(Untitled) arrives on Blu-ray with a Dolby TrueHD Master Audio 5.1 lossless track. The film is dialogue driven with a few “musical” pieces. Dialogue is clean and clear throughout the film remaining well reproduced in the center speaker. The rears accompany every musical sequence with great precision delivering every nuance from the piano to the saxophone. Rears are also used for some atmospherics, but they do lack in portion. Several scenes with a full room don’t quite feel like it is. In another words, the track is not as engrossing. However, (Untitled) sounds decent on Blu-ray.

No supplements have been included in this release.

(Untitled) will be a film that will satisfy a certain crowd as it is certainly not for everyone. Beneath all the oddities within the film, lies a story of a re-discovery with a smart cast. The film is sort of reminiscing of Stranger Than Fiction in the style of comedy and I am sure there will be a crowd waiting to embrace it. The Blu-ray looks and sounds great on Blu-ray, but the drawback is that there are no supplements included for this title. Again, if smart comedies aren’t your thing then perhaps this isn’t the movie for you.
