this movie tread on very familiar ground the confusion of art and reality in the life of actor . it do not have anything particularly novel or interesting to say on this subject and be in fact rather dull . the final scene in particular be interminably tedious . see the audience cry at the move acting they be see on the screen make me ask who do they think they be kid . nevertheless there be some good performance and interesting scene and particularly from some of the minor character . ben gazzara play an old and slightly touch actor and who get a whole posse of policeman clap his performance when they come to arrest him . christopher walken again play an over the top wacko . remember his character the continental on saturday night live while an age eurotrash satyr chase a young woman around the furniture and try to get her into bed . he do an identical turn in the film and chase his young ( male ) prey around an antique table and ply him with champagne . overall this film be both enchant and irritate and but mostly irritating .
