The Outsider, a feature-length documentary from first-time writer/director Nicholas Jarecki, is a film about film, specifically, the power of film to create, to move, and to endure. It follows one of Americas most obsessive and intriguing filmmakers, James Toback, writer/director of 11 movies including: Two Girls and a Guy, Black and White, The Gambler, Fingers, Bugsy, and When Will I Be Loved, starring Neve Campbell.

The movie develops through frank conversations with him about his obsessions (gambling, drinking, drugs, and sexual exploration) and how they manifest themselves in his films by interweaving clips from all of his movies. The film also contains candid, revealing conversations about film and life with Toback s collaborators including: Woody Allen, Robert Downey, Jr., Mike Tyson, Harvey Keitel, Neve Campbell, Norman Mailer, Brooke Shields, Barry Levinson, Jim Brown, Robert Towne, Brett Ratner, Roger Ebert, Bridget Hall, Damon Dash, Woody Harrelson, Bijou Phillips, Jeff Berg, Dominic Chianese, and Power from Wu-Tang Clan.

This is a great film for Tobak fans. It is like a documentary that engages a few actors commenting here and there throughout the film. Do not miss it.

This was basically a documentary about James Toback - no doubt a brilliant film maker, who is making a film in just 12 days. As well as seeing parts of the film made, it flashes back into his life as a compulsive gambler, serial womaniser and film talent. There are many famous celebs singing his praises - and that is all quite interesting, considering I didn't have a clue who the guy was. However, it's not actually a film of him being played by actors but rather a documentary of him with clips and credits. I couldn'tface watching a 100 minutes of features - I think the film itself said most of it. We got a couple of sentences from Woody Allen here and there throughout, as well as a lot of dialogue from Robert Downey Jnr. Not my cup of tea and not what I was expecting, but would be somewhat interesting if you are into that kind of thing.
