I saw this film on the end of Austin Powers' 'Spy Who Shagged Me': and thought it was going to be a hard act to follow. But THE EXTRA proved to be a sharply honest account of a talentless film extra's hopeless attempt at acting. Told by the Director to simply "be in a coma", the hapless character buffoons her way to a squirmish new low of acting.
I had to ask myself whether this was real or not.
It's brilliantly underplayed and oh so embarrassing!
