Roman Coppola shows extreme directing and writing talent in this ambitious and powerful cinematic piece. Although the acting is superb by the main character Paul(Jeremy Davies), the interesting plot overshadows anything of the actual acting. Within the first few minutes, the viewer discovers the existence of three movies being made: the main character is the editor of a movie being made by Andrezej(Gérard Depardieu), he is making home movies as a method of personal discovery, and he is also in the film CQ that the viewer is watching. The way each of the story lines intertwines gives a unique and interesting perspective to the movie. Writer and director Roman Coppola has managed to incorporate enough humor and drama into his artistic expression that the movie will be enjoyed by almost all who see it. I give this movie ***(1/2) out of ****.
