Hi there,
I am also looking for films which in whole or at least mostly depict a
series of people
being interviewed one on one with an interviewer who is off screen and
not seen, at
least during the interviews in question. I am NOT looking for
documentary type films
which interview real people, as it were, but films which are
fictitious and "interview"
actors who are playing characters being interviewed.
The only two films that come to mind are "Sex, Lies and
Videotape" (1989) and
2:37 (2006), but the staged series of interviews in both of these
films was only
a small portion of the two films in question.
Films of any genre will do, providing they all depict a series of
people being interviewed
one on one with an interviewer. A so-called "mockumentary" genre would
be fine too,
but "real films" are preferred.
Any suggestions?

The films that come to mind do not have an interviewer,
just the interviewees: _Rage_ by Sally Potter, which is
quite terrible, and _Ten Tiny Love Stories_ by Rodrigo
Garcia. Garcia also directed a few of the HBO "In Treatment"
series, which feature only the psychologist and the patient.
(I've only seen one episode with Hope Davis.)
A really great film, again without an interviewer -- just
characters facing the camera -- is _The Designated Mourner_,
adapted from a Wallace Shawn play by David Hare. The
three actors just sit there all film long, yet the directing
is just riveting. David Hare should make a lot more films.

"Take the Money and Run" (1969) may have a larger portion of
