Exhibition (film)

Exhibition is a 2013 British drama film directed by Joanna Hogg. The film stars Viv Albertine, Liam Gillick, and Tom Hiddleston. It explores the dynamics of a middle-aged couple, an artist and an architect, living in a unique modernist house in London as they contemplate selling their home and separating.

The film is known for its minimalist style, focusing on the atmosphere of the house and the subtle tensions within the relationship. It delves into themes of domesticity, creativity, and the passage of time, often through observational and understated scenes. The narrative structure is loose and fragmented, prioritizing mood and character study over a conventional plot.

"Exhibition" premiered at the Locarno International Film Festival and received generally positive reviews, praised particularly for its performances, cinematography, and Hogg's distinctive directorial vision. While not a commercial success, it has been noted for its contribution to independent British cinema and its exploration of contemporary relationships and artistic life. The film's title directly refers to the act of displaying oneself, the house, and ultimately, the relationship under scrutiny.
