Inserts - 1975 - 5/10
Has-been Silent director, now “reduced” to making pornography.
Those expecting porn will be disappointed, although there is some adult content.
Story is more about the creative process, compounded with real world obstacles.
Richard Dreyfuss and Jessica Harper pretty much dominate proceedings in dialogue driven film.
The “look” of seedy late 1920’s, early 1930’s is fine, and few will notice timeline errors.
Marked as a comedy, this is as funny as herpes, and feels like a theatre play.
