The layering of time frames is paralleled by the layering of realities-until you realize that it's all real, and that the supposed movie being written is and isn't the movie we are watching. Things happen, there is a true climax of an ending, but it's how they happen that matters. For me, I couldn't just watch to see what was going to happen next. This is a movie that is all about plot construction but not about being inside the plot in the normal viewer-filmmaker way. I remembered enjoying it, but thinking it wheedling and grad school ultra-clever, too. ![]() ![]() After all, the lead character is the screenwriter, and he's so full of himself and his self-pitying diary entries he has an identical twin to double the narcissism. ![]() My second take on this movie was a turnaround from the first, when I thought it was needlessly complicated and self-absorbed. ![]()
