What makes this film worth watching?

Self-reflexive filmmaking at its best. It captures the time in which it was made in small, telling details but also tells the larger story of capturing images and moments on film.

Self-reflexive filmmaking at its best. It captures the time in which it was made in small, telling details but also tells the larger story of capturing images and moments on film.
The main character expresses a slight philosophy of life—integrity lies with the single individual—that is not developed in any way nor expressively filmed, except for his mostly appearing alone, by himself. The background music sometimes comes to the fore and when it does, be it Bach or whoever, it overshadows the minimal conversations and actions. There is a seed here, and one worth developing, but this movie plants that seed too shallowly.
*I do not know the intent of the filmmaker = reviews are typically nothing but opinion and speculation. This one is no different.*
I'm beginning at, as far as I can find, the beginning of Mark Rappaport's released film career.
This exudes student film but you can tell immediately there is something more going on than most first time films. The contrast between what a person can tell you compared to how a film can show you is demonstrated cleverly. What appear to me to be several contrasts which we frankly take for granted several times every day.
A witty, charming little film, the medium itself partly as subject.
