Directed by William Greaves
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)
An experiment in which the director starts with a screen test of a couple in Central Park bickering over supposed infidelities, with the film crew, and even bystanders, in plain sight. The crew occasionally gets together to talk about the film, their part in it and how to make it better. There were a couple of insightful moments, such as when one of the crew posits the question that maybe they were acting and the director is standing right outside the door, and how that just adds another level of reality to the film. Overall, though, it's like a meeting of the philosophy club: the participants may enjoy the arguments, but to outsiders, in this case the viewer watching the film, it's not nearly as involving.
