A film in love with itself, created by a director's director or an actor's actor, saying little, but the filmic ones pretend that whisper is profound. Reviewers trying to explain why they love this stuff also perform dishonestly. "Close-Up" (1990) echos the silent "The Passion of Joan of Arc" (1928), also a lauded by critics story on the crime of impersonation but that one ends in burnt offering. Obscurantism.
