Coppola gives CQ a sense of style and humor that makes the navel-gazing bearable.

...Young Coppola includes a lot of witty barbs aimed at the cinematic fetishes of another era....There are amusing cameos...
Movieline's Hollywood Life
A stylistic romp that's always fun to watch.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
...The filmmaker splatters the scene with his love for the movies, comic books and music, and the film vibrates with that affection....Don't fight the undertow. Go along with it...

Funny to me, but maybe not for everyone. Hell, I don't care, you're either in the category of the type of person who will like this or you're not. The choice is yours, but anyone pre-disposed to like this type of film will be happy they took the trip.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Novice filmmaker Paul (Jeremy Davies) has just been given the chance of a lifetime to direct the super spy film Codename Dragonfly. But when he starts to believe that the stunningly beautiful Dragonfly character (Angela Lindvall) is seducing him from within the film, Paul risks his new position and his sanity to join her in an adventure beyond even his imagination.
Product Description:
Directed by Roman Coppola (the son of Francis Ford Coppola and brother of Sofia) in his feature film debut, CQ follows Paul (Jeremy Davies), an aspiring American filmmaker living in Paris circa 1969 with his French girlfriend, Marlene (Élodie Boulez). When Paul's not in his flat making an angst-ridden home movie and treating Marlene with complete indifference, he's working as a editor on a sci-fi film helmed by the volatile Andrezej (Gérard Depardieu) and starring the beautiful Valentine (Angela Lindvall) as Dragonfly, a sexy secret agent. After a tense fight between Andrezej and the film's producer (Giancarlo Giannini), Paul is promoted to director, leaving him with an unfinished film and a growing infatuation with Valentine.
A tribute to late-1960s guilty pleasures such as BARBARELLA and DANGER: DIABOLIK, CQ even goes so far as to include John Phillip Law (who starred in both films) in a minor role. Coppola's film also places one foot in the film-about-film genre, with many references to French New Wave cinema that particularly pop up in Paul's autobiographical movie. With it's immaculate 1969 period design and eclectic supporting cast--including Jason Schwartzman, Dean Stockwell, and Billy Zane--CQ makes for a unique look at the strange world of making movies.
