About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like affectionate, tongue-in-cheek stories about artists at work and don’t mind a loose, sometimes chaotic vibe; Not for you if you want a straightforward plot or dislike subtitles—Me and Orson Welles is a good comparison.
Pros: lively behind-the-scenes energy; authentic period atmosphere; witty, playful tone | Cons: can feel confusing; uneven pacing at times; best for cinephiles
