5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, excellent writing, great acting, January 3, 2010
By 
This review is from: The Auteur (DVD)
This is probably the funniest indie/low budget movie I've ever seen. I can't suggest this movie enough. Rent it, buy it. Malik is friggan amazing as Arturo Domingo. John Breen is awesome. The romance with Fiona is hilarious and painful to watch.

Other indie flicks can't compare. Only Boondock Saints has this kind of word-of-mouth cool.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent mockumentary of a porn director, August 13, 2009
This review is from: The Auteur (DVD)
Filmed entirely in and around Portland, Oregon, this film deftly deals with the rise and fall (and re-rise?) of a fictional porn director, his body of work, and his personal maturation. Interwoven flashback scenes help the viewer gain an insight into the director's mind and how he became who he is. Filmed with an abundance of humor and stylized faux sex scenes, this movie is perfect for the over 16 year old set.

Just be into movies, be okay with some nudity and the suggestion of sex and pornography -- as both a business and an art form. I would highly recommend this film; it will be a seminal moment in your life if you buy this movie.
