🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a nervous, almost comedic portrait of creative obsession, using documentary footage to create a sense of immediate presence. It relies on the contrast between an intimate intellectual event and a global pop-culture phenomenon, exploring the existential doubts of a creator.
What lingers after viewing is a witty and tender sketch about the love of cinema that lives in details and anxieties. It leaves a warm feeling of solidarity with all who champion quiet, important things in a noisy world. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Nanni Moretti
