things i loved about this movie:
-all the creative transitions such as: the windshield wipers transition //
-when ever grandpa Pompo sees Gene and completely and absolutely butchers his name, as well as his entire identity, then the camera zooms and Gene just goes "'i'm Gene, one person"
-Gene in the bus seeing Nathalie through his own "angle" / "lens" so to say
-"editing room 3"
-when Gene opens the screenplay "Meister" that Pompo wrote and it cuts into half a screen, shows the time on his phone, then closes as he's done reading, very creative
-Nathalie's reaction to her getting her debut role; & right then and there followed by Gene's reaction to him being the director of this upcoming movie, hilarious
-the very first scene they shot together in Switzerland, Gene's reactions gave me actual goosebumps, Nathalie's presence and the way Martin completely SWITCHES and starts acting like a real professional
- // there were some incredible transitions in this movie, one of them being the paper bag that appears right on Mystia's face and it transitions to the kitchen with the movement and appearance of the second paper bag
-then the Gene transitioning from "film rolling" to the Switzerland hotel, as if a filter was dragged up and away
-the hourglass transition to show a flashback or change in time (to show the past), GROGEOUS.
-the fact that they won all those awards at the end was such a good way to end the movie, they very well deserved it too tbh (not like i actually watched the movie they made but you know what i mean), and when Gene's asked what his favorite part of the movie was and he answers:
"the fact that it's 90 minutes long"
then it cuts and the credits + ending song start playing, i check the length of the actual movie and find out it's 90 minutes long as well, that was a nice little touch
i loved this movie so much
I loved this movie. It shows how fun movies can be. And it shows everything great, fun and hard about making movies can be. Especially before Hollywood got so corrupt and everyone was friends with Epstien. Some people still care and those people really shine bright, just not to the corrupt academy. I hope everyone else appreciates the great story and characters in this film as I did.
Pompo tells us a story about how not everything you do as a creator is special and how coming to terms with that can lead to something stronger. This is perfectly exemplified by it managing to feel still a little padded, despite the brisk and oh-so-cleverly referenced 90-minute runtime. It celebrates inspiration and passion in a sweet, almost romanticized manner, creating a light and fluffy tone that dares only to tiptoe around the deeper, darker issues that lie underneath. The production is gorgeous, using bright colours, intricate detailing, and smart transitions to constantly catch your eye, and the accompanying soundtrack is an absolute delight. While this might not be the best portrayal of crafting cinema, it's still a really fun time and just a dang good movie of its own.
Not bad overall, the plot made sense, but it needed some glue to stick together.

Simple and decent movie that lacks the proper punch but was still entertaining overall.
