A documentary-film
If you want to know about foreigners in Hollywood, about how difficult it is to produce and make movies and the power of movies stars here please check out this movie.] Music is quite exciting. Most people wonder if it is a film, a documentary, if everything is true, if everything is not true, our mind works during this movie, yet it is entertaining. I have seen it yesterday and I believe it is quite accurate in anyone interested in the film-making process and Hollywood and keeping the dream alive. Bravo fellow French man in Hollywood.
Fun movie - odd memoirish smart self-mocking in a weird way
I saw this when it came out a couple years ago at the Laemle Sunset theater ... there weren't many people in the audience. I fully enjoyed the movie, as did my meta-new-age-self- proclaimed-psychic female companion, as did everyone in attendance. It's partially a story of Mr. Calande's attempt to sell a weird movie he had already made and could not let go of ... and he's in the middle of building a house ... and runs out of money ... rents a Buddha's head for $2000 a month and his luck changes ... floating around Hollywood ... As we left the theater that evening, Mr. Calande was standing in the back. We stopped and talked for a moment. He was very charming, and clearly intelligent. My friend was swooning for him. I'd love to see the movie again. I hope it comes out on DVD.
Brilliant, Accessible and Witty!
BRAVO, Phillipe and the rest of the "people that you've never heard of before"! That he drew performances of this caliber from mostly non-actors is astonishing, though credit must be shared with them. Charming, funny, frustrating, and ironic, this movie managed to keep me thinking long past the applause-drenched closing credits. What a great, positive film from a man I can't WAIT to hear more from in the future. The music is spot-on as well featuring songs by Sonic Vibe and Outsized. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on that puppy. It doesn't hurt that Philippe is verrry easy on the eyes... -NAMASTE, Sandi in Pasadena
