Synopsis
The Auteur is a comedy for grown-ups. The acclaimed director of My left Nut and Requiem for a Wet Dream, Arturo Domingo was once a renowned porn director. He considered himself the Stanley KUBRICK of pornography, but Full Metal Jackoff, his once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece was under harsh criticism and his love in jeopardy. As he visits Portland, Oregon to receive an award in a film festival, he runs into a fan of him still enthusiastic and former filmmaking co-workers where he gets vitalizing and inspiring experience.
Loaded with fake documentary and parody, The Auteur is directed by James WESTBY who also produced Film Geek, rated comparable to Napoleon Dynamite, an independent film hit. It is based on a short film the director shot with the same title. While the movie is filled with total nudity and genital exposure, it also has ample B movie sentiments and humor as if Wes ANDERSON were shooting a soft porn. Narcissistic Domingo with an Italian accent was perfectly characterized with Melik MALKASIAN's brilliant performance. (LEE Hwa Jung)
