Pompo: The Cinéphile
Synopsis
The story
The manga depicts the craft of movie-making and revolves around Joelle Davidovich "Pompo" Pomponette, a talented movie producer who looks like a little girl. Operating out of the movie capital "Nyallywood," Pompo has been shooting one B-grade entertainment flick after another that anyone would enjoy. One day, Pompo's "movie buff" assistant Gene spots a new script written by Pompo, and is moved by its exquisite story. In a fit of passion, he proclaims, "I want to see this as a finished work in theaters as soon as possible!" However, Pompo tells him, "So you shoot this film." Thus, Gene takes on his first directing gig. Meanwhile, Natalie, an ordinary girl who just arrived in town with movie actress dreams, has been discovered by Pompo.

Pompo: The Cinéphile isn't much of a "love letter to film" but a mantra to an albeit cliched notion—to never give in.

A misguided and ironic love letter to film and artists

Pompo: The Cinéphile: A surface-level 'love letter' to cinema that hardly explores the medium or the process.
