Color us impressed: Last month, sometime between her court hearings and her house arrest, 24-year-old Lindsay Lohan found time to make a movie. Granted, it's only a 90-second art film, but given the lack of Lohan films in recent years, we'll take what we can get. Watch the whole thing below!
The short film, titled simply Lindsay Lohan, was created by painter Richard Phillips for the prestigious Venice Biennale, an art exhibition in Italy held every two years. If the movie reminds you of a commercial, that's not an accident: It's part of a program called "Commercial Break," which will explore the relationship between art and advertising. The question is, what is it a commercial for?
"What fascinates me about Lindsay are not her problems but the way she embodies an eminence on the level of a (Brigitte) Bardot or an (Liv) Ullmann," Phillips told The New York Times. "She's a combination of the fantastic and the real, which is what makes her so magnetic. She can also bring forward an existential presence that speaks to the isolated self."
In other words: She's hot. But lonely. Or something. Anyhow, Lohan looks beautiful in the movie, which presents her as the ethereal Hollywood glamour girl she might have been -- or still could be, if she gets her act together.
For now, her Hollywood career is on hold as Lohan completes her house arrest. According to People, Lohan is allowed unrestricted visitors, unlimited phone and internet use, and to leave the house for medical or court appointments cleared in advance. However, her ankle bracelet will go off if she even sets a foot outside her own house, and she gets no other excuses to leave -- even for work, or to serve her 480 court-ordered community service hours.
The judge is hoping that house arrest and community service will give Lohan some discipline. And, from what Richard Phillips says, the infamous party girl may already have a more mature outlook on her career. "I never met her before the shoot. We only texted," he says. "But she showed up on time and worked an entire day, and hit every take on the money."
Showed up on time? Worked an entire day? That may be the most promising Lindsay Lohan news we've heard in months.
