Who's Camus Anyway? (2005)

The story follows a film student named Matsukawa (Shuji Kashiwabara) and his crew as they move from pre-production to shooting of a film titled "The Bored Murderer". The plot of this film within a film is a young man, portrayed by Hideo Nakaizumi, who kills an old woman simply to have the experience of murder. The director of the film ("The Bored Murderer" not "Who's Camus Anyway?") gives the actor a copy of Albert Camus' existential classic "L'Etranger", which chronicles a similarly pointless murder, to help him with his motivation. Soon actor and role begin to merge in surprising and dangerous ways. "Who's Camus Anyway?" revels in its referencing of other films (Matsukawa's obsessively jealous girlfriend is nicknamed Adele after a character in Francois Truffuat's "The Story Of Adele H" as well as incorporating stylistic touches from other filmmakers (the main characters are introduced in a one-shot/ one-scene tracking shot reminiscent of Mizoguchi).
