“Brian de Palma's comedy that catches every body in the act!”

Comedy

A cult guru urges a shy disciple to make life a movie and be its star.

VIBE

This film feels like a bizarre, low-budget experiment. It’s a meta-comedy that’s both funny and deeply strange, exploring identity through the lens of amateur filmmaking and cult influence. Best watched with an open mind.
