Noch jemand höchst angetan von der iranischen 📺 Serie THE ACTOR (Staffel 2 fast noch mehr als Staffel 1)? Ich könnte unablässig kichern, wenn ich mir nur wieder das Wort "dörrty" vorsage 😄

If you're like me, "produced by Charlie Kaufman" will be enough of a recommendation. You see, THE ACTOR is a second film (first live action) by Duke Johnson, a director of ANOMALISA. Charlie didn't write this one, but an adaptation of Donald Westlake's Memory is still a trip!

It's a story of an actor who gets lost in the 50s Ohio, with memory problems, he's getting told about his identity, but he has no easy way of getting back home #film #cinema #review #TheActor
