Directed by Philippe Caland

DramaComedy

"Kissing Metal" is the story of Philippe, a down and out European film producer, who lives in a tent in the shadow of his unfinished house in Brentwood. Philippe is struggling to sell a film he made five years ago to foreign distributors. Nearly broke, and on the verge of eviction, he seeks spiritual help from Master Atchoum, a Buddhist Guru. Master Atchoum pushes him into practicing Buddhism and convinces him to buy an expensive metal sculpture of Buddha. Empowered by the support of his new-found "religion," Philippe starts turning things around. Through a series of serendipitous events...and some very unorthodox maneuvering, he becomes a success. But, he soon discovers that all is not what it appears to be.

    This is a really good idea, and a useful app.

    Only suggestion: Number of ratings/reviews should hold more weight in the sorting algorithm.

    e.g. Hollywood Buddha (2003) shouldn't be the RT Audience Rating second highest ranked film all time.
