“Lindsay Lohan” is a 1 1/2-minute art film that features the actress in a series of luxurious poses and enigmatic, direct-to-camera stares. [Artist: Richard Phillips.] The Gagosian said the film references such movie classics as Bergman’s “Persona” and Godard’s “Contempt.”

    @6: She was brilliant in The Parent Trap!

    I found it boring and pointless and nothing more artistic than the opening credits for any movie. The pace was too slow to be the opening credits for TV, otherwise I would have called it that.

  18. and more of a commercial for her brand
