Real life
Blu-ray - 2024
Decades before reality television reigned supreme, there was Albert Brooks's debut feature, Real Life, a brilliantly deadpan, stylistically innovative satire about the perils and pitfalls of trying to capture the truth on film. The writer-director plays 'Albert Brooks', a narcissistic Hollywood filmmaker who plans to spend the year in Phoenix embedded with Warren and Jeanette Yeager and their two children, deploying an arsenal of cutting-edge equipment to capture an American family's ordinary day-to-day. Chronicling the project's disastrous fallout, as the meddlesome Albert can't help getting too close to his subjects, this pioneering mockumentary is more relevant than ever amid today's media landscape.
