What makes this film worth watching?

This film is a revelation of the power of self-identity. Dalio (Israel Moshe Blauschild), a French actor of Jewish-Romanian descent, navigates institutional prejudices to actualize as a film artist. Despite perpetual, and often successful, attempts to cast him as a cultural stereotype, Dalio retains dignity and powerful skill as a craftsperson throughout his many, often minor, roles. The loving and poetic reconstruction of Blauschild is conveyed through archival photography, film clips, and the fictional persona of Dalio by way of an expressionistic voice over. Rappaport's method is an inspired and imaginative reworking of documentary conventions.

Sublime! And very educational, too.
