Seems like it's mostly about love and filmmaking. I didn't find anything novel or strikingly insightful about the love stuff, and the filmmaking...ehhh, it's just not a very interesting topic generally. Of course I'm always down to watch something about Herzog's behind-the-scenes adventures or where a director talks about her process directly but the mundane stuff doesn't do it for me. I tend to enjoy ensemble movies though so I think that added to the experience. Truffaut's dreams are the best part. Also I probably haven't seen enough to say but what happened to him? His first three movies are some of the most vibrant of the French new wave but this is totally bland, as is Fahrenheit 451.
Now this is nothing if not vibrant. It's definitely a directional film, but it's put together as if it were much more aimless. It almost got me excited about film again but not to the extent that Huillet/Straub did a year or so ago. Maggie Cheung seems like the coolest person ever.
