Review of Camera Buff (1979) by Mattias E — 16 Sep 2008
Great early work hardly even recognizable as Kieslowski. Bears not a little resemblance to British realists. Draws heavily on the director's own experiences as a documentary film maker. The somewhat quirky Jerzy Stuhr is superb as the ordinary worker who becomes a filmmaker almost by accident, and begins to see the world differently while at the same time loses the grip on his own personal life.
A brilliant satire on the process of filmmaking itself.
