What seems like an apologetic hyperbole, the unruly characters become a portrait of Zulawski's understanding amidst chaos in a film's creative possession. A manifestation of strain on his love life, the hidden political purpose, and of course it's willingness to keep alive his star actor.

Arthouse film as artsy as they come. Complete with stylized (and unrealistic) acting, verfremdungseffekt, blurring of the line between the fiction and the fiction within the fiction, nudity and a narcissistic film director trying to adapt Dostoyevsky. There are a couple of interesting shots the two last ones being the most memorable. This is not my thing and I would suggest that you go watch 'The fourth man' instead.
