| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Good idea thrown away |
| Critics and art-house lovers must have writhed at this movie that puts the spotlight on their pretensions and the deals and self-absorption that are behind it all. But people interested in film-making, screenwriting and just movie buffs in general will chortle with glee at this public airing of the phoniness of these egomaniacs.
Unfortunately, these moments are brief and few. One has to listen closely as dozens of glimpses are caught of these "auteurs" and their doe-eyed admirers. Also shown are what some people will do to get into the movies. All of this occupies maybe 5 to 10 percent of the movie. The rest of the movie is a tawdry little garden-variety rom-com and not a good one at that. Ironically, this rom-com was probably put in to sell the movie, thus committing one of the repulsive tactics the film itself is trying to lampoon. Someone should take this idea and run with it, even today. To see a 90 minute movie devoted to showing what goes on at Cannes would be a wildly entertaining movie as well as a valuable document. |
