Review of The Stunt Man (1980) by Yogesh R — 25 Aug 2007
Interesting but inconsistent black comedy with the ever-watchable O'Toole hamming it up with relish; potentially fascinating theme about the dangers of partial vision and premature judgment (which ties in to reality vs. illusion) never gets fully explored.
Rush's making-of documentary, "The Sinister Saga of Making 'The Stunt Man,'" is on the other hand massively entertaining, even though the director comes off as a cocky, narcissistic asshole.
