Official Competition - 2021 - 7/10
AKA - Competencia Oficial
The fabulously rich man realizes he has left no mark other than wealth accumulation.
He decides to finance a movie. A prestige film. Arthouse. With the very best talent.
The director is controversial, award-winning, difficult, unpredictable.
She requests two leads: the premier actor, and biggest “star”.
Then the rehearsals. Where tsunami sized egos begin to clash.
Much is exaggerated to absurd lengths. Personalities and situations.
Entertaining comedy, packed with in-jokes for cinema buffs and theatre players.
That is a liability, however, as only a select audience with “get this”.
