But enough small-minded literalism; Gondry would seem to have intended "Be Kind Rewind" more as a generous, sweet-tempered comic fable. But the souffle never [rises], for reasons that begin with the fact that the disheveled Jerry seems like a certifiable lunatic in immediate need of extended treatment. 

With the exception of a couple of nice pantomimic moves immediately after having been [zapped], Black overdoes it awfully here in an overwhelmingly unamusing performance. No matter what he did, Def couldn't help but seem low-key by contrast, but, in any event, his mild-mannered turn makes a soft impact.

Solondz not only plays his stark exercise in universal objectification as a Zen parable but blatantly inscribes the anticipated critical response. As befits a movie by a onetime yeshiva student, Storytelling is to be understood as a work of commentary. Despite (or perhaps because of) Solondz's uninflected compositions and ongoing autocritique, Storytelling—which is accompanied by a soundtrack of breathy, celestial laughter—will strike some as cold and even repellent. Now a victim as well as a victim lover, Vi finally has something to write about. She makes use of her misadventure as the basis for her next story, and the class is suitably appalled: "Do people have to be so ugly? It's perverted. It's mean-spirited," not to mention racist, misogynist, and exploitative.

Storytelling's second tale, "Non-Fiction," is less finely tuned in its cruelties and performances but even more self-reflexive—not the least because it involves a nebbishy documentary filmmaker with a passing resemblance to Solondz. A disheveled dweeb with horn-rimmed glasses, Toby (Paul Giamatti) is first seen cold-calling a girl he jilted in high school 20 years before because he's heard she has become a producer. As though a graduate of Mr. Scott's class, Toby is looking for funding to make a documentary on teenage suburban life, with an appropriately deconstructivist narration. Searching for a graduating senior to profile, Toby stumbles [upon] Scooby (Mark Webber), a pot-smoking slacker whose ambition is to serve as sidekick to Conan O'Brien. Theirs is a pact of mutual exploitation: Scooby may be dazed and confused, but he agrees to cooperate because he knows about The Blair Witch Project and has heard of Sundance.
