It's also a way for Michel Gondry, the French writer-director who worked with Charlie Kaufman on the Jim Carrey time-slip comedy Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, to bang home his point that all moviemaking, whether a tiny indie film or a Michael Bay extravaganza, are communal enterprises.

While the material addressed was of the utmost gravity, these scenes were slow-paced and excruciatingly drawn-out. What should have been moving was soporific. And for all its intentional weirdness, “The Divine Reality Comedy” still managed to be predictable.The Bread and Puppet Theater brought...
