The movie is designed as a nonfiction gross-out comedy, and on those narrow terms it delivers.

Giuseppe Makes a Movie
WARNING: THIS FILM CONTAINS SENIOR CITIZEN NUDITY AND DEAD PIGS

Adam Rifkin
Overview
While the rest of America slept, DIY filmmaker/musician Giuseppe Andrews has made over 30 experimental features. Set in some demented alternate universe (i.e. Ventura, California), they are populated by real-life alcoholics and drug addicts, trash-talking senior citizens and trailer park residents dressed in cow outfits and costume-shop wigs. Director Adam Rifkin creates a wildly surreal, outrageously funny and strangely touching portrait of a truly Outsider Artist inhabiting a world few of us even know exists.

Mr. Rifkin's own style is rough and ready, and efficient. We quickly grasp Mr. Andrews's casual appeal and how his films resemble community theater productions.

Andrews isn't the first creative type to attempt to cast ineptitude as a virtue, but damn if he doesn't just about make his case in Giuseppe Makes a Movie.

This is a weirdly compelling look at a weirdly compelling auteur.
