isla s I thought this was a very good film - it covers an interesting story with thoughtful themes about identity, honesty and social portrayal. Its thought provoking and has a good script, so yes, I'd recommend it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review tim b Excellent! The joys and pains of art and filmmaking, beautifully brought to life. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review bill t Like most of Kieslowski's films, this is pretty much a yakathon about one topic, and pretty ,uch doesnt let up until the last minute. In this case, a laborer gets to make film about the company's annual get together, soon, this film gets noticed by film festivals and what not, and he's invited to make more films.. but his family life suffers, and soon the films also carry a political cost. A little too blah for it's own good I'm afraid.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Every auteur has his/her own way to express his/her love towards cinema. We've had several testaments, from 8 1/2 to Pastoral: To Die in the Country, from La Nuit Américaine to Terror Firmer (haha). Camera Buff emanates love and passion in every frame, and tells us about the consequences such life may unleash along the way, both personally and those regarding people directly and indirectly involved with one's life. As far as my experience has gone, I have not encountered a better Kieslowski masterpiece than this one. He must really have gotten very excited to have Krzysztof Zanussi in his film. Alternatively, Zanussi must have been intelligent enough to see promising talents in Kieslowski, just like fate stumbles upon Filip Mosz (Jerzy Stuhr) without previous warning. 99/100 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
