Pulp(1972)

Write it. Live it. But try not to be it.

Pulp is a comedy film about a washed-up pulp novelist hired to ghostwrite the memoirs of an eccentric former actor living in isolation on Malta. The writer finds himself drawn into the chaotic world of his enigmatic subject, navigating absurd situations and unexpected revelations as he attempts to piece together the actor's mysterious past. What begins as a straightforward job becomes increasingly surreal, blending dark humor with sharp observations about fame, reinvention, and the gap between public personas and private reality. The film explores the unlikely chemistry between two damaged men seeking redemption through storytelling, set against the atmospheric backdrop of a Mediterranean island. Pulp balances comedy and pathos while examining the nature of truth in autobiography and the compromises artists make to survive.
