The Book That Wrote Itself (1999)
Director: Liam O'Mochain
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Mochin's cheap but inventive comedy 'docu-drama' (in fact it'sa drama about a docu-drama) is a fledgling effort that proves surprisingly memorable. A young writer with a blag artist's charm hires a novice female assistant to help turn his book into a movie that ends up at the Venice film festival. Minor, talky, occasionally irksome, but energetic.Author: WH
