There are some brilliant things about the docufiction. If it wasn't so boring I could appreciate it more. Many thought didn't know that Jim McBride was making a fake film though, and L.M Kit Carson seems believable enough as David that you think he's just a really weird and creepy guy who has just filmed his girlfriend naked and asleep. Thankfully for the sake of the viewer not feeling creepy this movie is only fake. It does give you a culturally cool look into the 60's though, but Holzman's life is boring, and I don't blame the guy for being disappointed in how his film turned out.
Summary: David Holzman decides to do a diary of his life with his camera. He has all the equipment to make it work, and sets it up in his apartment and allows it to travel with him while he is out and about. Not all that are in his life though will appreciate the intrusion into their lives including his girlfriend, Penny. She definitely doesn't like the new wheel in their relationship. David though will find that his experiment of filming his own life leaves him with more frustration than answers though.
