An unseen, unnamed filmmaker (Hope Davis) peers through her camera. She wants to pick a "real" subject to film, and when she sees Guy (Vincent D'Onofrio) on the street, she latches onto him. At first, Guy is enraged that someone is just following him around, filming, but soon he begrudgingly accepts her presence, then gets attached to the attention. The act of being observed changes Guy's daily life, his personality and, eventually, his relationship with the woman behind the camera.

11/23/2008 A guy on the edge.. and a women willing to push.. "Is this going somewhere??.." See more 08/20/2008 I was kind of surprised by how interesting and well-made it is. Much better than Truman Show and EdTV. See more 05/06/2008 This movie is great! vincent looks so hott in this one!! ;-) See more 03/29/2008 Okay wow, when you flick on a random movie channel and throw on some film you've never heard of, this is NOT what you're expecting. Tells the story of Guy (portrayed perfectly by D'Onofrio) who one day is approached by a girl with a camera, who has decided to make a film about him. She proceeds to follow him everywhere documenting his life until they are both driven quite crazy by it. This movie is trippy, so unlike anything I've seen before and it even made me fall in love with Hope Davis who has always annoyed me. Brilliant concept, well directed with an unexpected ending. Undiscovered but really worth getting hold of... See more 02/10/2008 This film is so refreshing. The simplicity of it makes it so compelling. See more 01/20/2008 Compelling movie, the premise of which is someone filming a man's everyday life with a camcorder. Worthy and artistic cinema that deserves to be seen, Excellent.
