There's a side that I want to do just like really retarded arty films like parody, pretentious art films that kind of are supposed to have some deep meaning.
This quote reflects a fascination with intentionally absurd or exaggerated art films that aim to satirize or parody the pretentiousness often associated with high art. It highlights a desire to explore or maybe critique the tendency of some artistic works to prioritize profundity at the expense of accessibility or genuine expression. Such films can serve as both entertainment and commentary, questioning what truly constitutes meaningful art and challenging viewer expectations. The speaker's candidness adds an element of humor and self-awareness about their interest in these subversive, sometimes 'retarded' (as a colloquial, reclaimed term) cinematic styles.
