Full Frontal is a 2002 film by Steven Soderbergh, about a day in the life of people in Hollywood. The film stars Catherine Keener, David Duchovny, Julia Roberts, Mary McCormack and David Hyde Pierce were shot on digital video in under a month using the Canon XL-1s. The film blurs the line between what is real and what is fiction in its depiction of a film within a film (and possibly within another). It is in the loose structural style and narrative ambiguity of the French New Wave, and it received critical notice for this style.
