The term "art film" is used in a lot of contexts, but what it means to your average moviegoer is "something froufrou I don't want to watch." I like art films, along with virtually every other kind of film -- martial arts action flicks being the glaring exception -- but "L'Autre" ("The Other") is exactly the personification of the type of filmmaking many people are derisive of. It's tiresome, occasionally arresting, but mostly so very, very French.
