Very strange and intriguing

Although we have seen the old behind-the-scenes of the making of a movie before, this film is very successful at its documentary feel. To be honest, I question whether this is real or not. The preachiness of the filmmakers eventually seeps through, but if you take this on the surface, it is pretty successful. I give it a 7. I saw this on video under the title "Confessions of a Blue Movie Star."
