Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaShot on a budget of only $2,500.
- GoofsHolzman shows a montage of TV he says he watched on a Tuesday night in July 1967. He was wrong about the night. Although it's hard to date the Huntley/Brinkley Report newscast or the Joey Bishop Show late-night talk show, neither Batman, Star Trek or the Dean Martin Show aired on a Tuesday night. In July 1967, Batman aired on Wednesday and Thursday nights and Star Trek and the Dean Martin Show aired on Thursday nights. The montage is from a Thursday night.
- Quotes
David Holzman: It was like rooms everything is so perfect, that everything is so perfect that they have to be kept, that because this random particular accidental state so meaningful, so, so touching, it's so touching, it's so beautiful.

Featured review
The fuss is that it's a satirical piece
I guess you would get confused if you didn't understand the hype and hoopla surrounding the cinema verité movement during this era.
David Holzman's Diary serves to lampoon cinema verité by showing one dull, overly introspective scene after another. It's a thinly-veiled attack on what director Jim McBride saw as a pretentious cinematic form.
The fact that cinema verité is not widely regarded today (except in film schools) is a testimony to how dated this film now appears. That said, Roman Coppola endlessly references this film in his debut, "CQ". Perhaps McBride's film will enjoy a bit of a renaissance.
