Schrader's Exorcism
Watch TrailerPaul Schrader, fired from directing the prequel to The Exorcist and forced to watch his vision shelved, is handed a shoestring budget two years later to finally finish the job. The camera, in pure cinéma vérité style, captures the director and editor Tim Silano clawing for every frame, racing against time to deliver a complete film for its European world premiere. This is a chronicle of creative obstinacy, where each minute in the editing suite becomes a fight for artistic integrity against bare numbers and immovable deadlines.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Filmmaker Michelle Graves documents not just a production, but a portrait of obsession. The camera serves as a silent witness to a titanic effort, where art is born not from inspiration, but from pure, almost physical stubbornness.
What lingers after the credits is a rare, unvarnished look at the machinery of major filmmaking, stripped of all glamour, leaving only sweat, frayed nerves, and endless hours at the console. It's a story not of triumph, but of directorial will surviving against the odds. — MovieFinder Editorial

The tense half-light of the editing bay, urgent phone negotiations, a monitor's glow in the dark.
