I love Richard's performance, although I was hoping for more autobiographical information.
Listened to this as an audiobook and I think that put me at a disadvantage. My limited knowledge of film also probably did not help. If I had to summarize this book - which I suppose the essence of a review is a summary, so I do have to summarize - then I would describe this as “a cinema philosopher's fever dream...wherein a man plays two characters who are both one in the same”. Perhaps that was Ayoade's ambition all along.
