Review of Storytelling (2001) by Emily B — 27 Apr 2009

Not quite as good as 'Happiness' but just as daring. 'Storytelling' is split into two parts. The first being 'Fiction', staring Selma Blair as a creative writing student, who ends up spending the night with her black college professor (make sure you get the unrated version unless you want to see a huge red square over the screen!). The second part is 'Non-Fiction' which is considerably longer than the first story therefore allowing more character development and sympathy for the characters. It involves documentary filmmaker Paul Giamatti (who is brilliant!) filming a project on teenagers, the focus being young Scooby, who wants to be just like Conan O Brien.

Clever, entertaining and funny, with an excellent soundtrack by Belle and Sebastian. I know can't wait for 'Life During Wartime'.
