To me the opening paragraphs of the lead don't seem to flow very well (grammar and punctuation feel awkward).

David Holzman's Diary is a 1967 American film, directed by Jim McBride, which interrogates the art of documentary-making.

It may be considered a docufiction: paradoxically, despite the film is in fact a false autobiography and documentary, «a fairy tale», it represents the filmmaker's life and experience and also the world in which the action takes place with documentary realist techniques. The mirror metaphor is explicit in the film as code for reality.

Is there a reason the (overly long) synopsis treats the existence of end credits like a mindblowing plot twist? Nerdwizard (talk) 23:17, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
