If you dig French movies and Jim Jarmusch (s.p.?) movies, chances are you'll dig this. A writer has come up with a great title for a book and now must write the actual book. Sounds like the way Roger Corman used to make movies. Except, of course, Corman actually made those movies. I wasn't too clear on whether or not the protagonist in this film ever actually writes the book. I like to think he doesn't.
This is not a typical American narrative film. If you're looking for easy to spot plot points, you'll be disappointed. The film is set up as a series of conversations the writer has with various people about various subjects. Each scene is filmed from two angles. The camera never moves. While the shots are static, the camera is often placed in ways to make the shots interesting and, often, unsettling. This is D'Stair's first film in color and he uses it to good effect. The film has a somewhat retro quality, sort of mimicking old 16mm film.
This is the definition of an art film, so if you're looking for something different and entertaining, this should do the trick.
