Review of The Auteur

The Auteur

This mocumentary is one of the cleverest and funniest I've seen. It manages to send up both the porn industry, and the fawning "artist retrospective" industry as well.

A few friends of mine saw it, and despite our varying tastes we agreed that it was our "Best Movie you will Probably Never See" film of 2008. We still quote lines from the film to each other, months later.

See it if you can. It's raunchy, to be sure, and that's probably the reason that mass audiences didn't get a chance to see it. - That's a shame. This movie is laugh-out-loud funny, convention and genre challenging, and the kind of movie we all wonder about why they're not being made. Well, because when they ARE, boring middle of the road marketers don't know how to sell them.

This is a gem. See it.
