Our take

Shot by Christoph Schlingensief when he was only 17, this precocious and wacky short reflexively concocts a haphazard film set, making a mockery out of aspirational Hollywood glamour. By cajoling the villagers of Much into participating, the young director proves that moviemaking is for everyone!
