Never say loudly to a real artist that you think you are an artist, ”advises a studio boss during the Golden Globe Awards Matt Remnick (Seth Rogen), the new head of the fictional Continental studios. Matt, the brave, naive and somewhat stupid antihero of this story is a big fan of independent films, has just been awarded the contract for his dream job as a studio manager and is convinced that it is an artist and being able to stay in his new function. Despite all the constraints, he believes that he can weld the great film business in Hollywood with art. And of course he fails completely.
The Apple TV+series “The Studio” drives up a lot of celebrities from the dream factory in Los Angeles and tells pointed out of the everyday life of the film industry in Hollywood. Regardless of whether Matt Remnick is thrown out by Charlize Theron at a celebrity party, he destroys the old-age work of Martin Scorsese, who is crying in front of him, or whether he has to make actors Steve Buscemi and slimy his hand: it is always about how the studio boss flatters the sizes of the film industry and then brings them up against them, even though he is trying to stand well with them.
The contradiction between commerce and art is always dissolved in favor of business logic.

The satirical examination of the film industry as a comedy series offered HBO with “The Franchise” last year. “The Studio” also swims on this wave and gives the impression that the Hollywood greats had been in line to be able to play along. Does Apple TV+ have a particularly good networking? Half played Hollywood in the climate dystopia series “Extrapolations”.
If in «The Studio» success director and Oscar winner Sarah Polley makes a key scene for her new queer arthouse love film, which cannot be repeated, and Matt messes up the whole shoot, the emotions cook up. The spectators then have the impression that they really look behind the scenes of Hollywood.
The situation is similar if the question is extensively and quite helpless as to whether Ice Cube is the right line-up for the voice of an animated figure in a multi-million dollar franchise blockbuster or thus promoted racist prejudices. And when Matt destroys his entire artistic claim in the final cut of the new film by director legend Ron Howard, he naturally feels bad and suffer, but he has to do it. The constraints in Hollywood always have the last word.
In places, “The Studio” slips into a comedy that is too rioting, screaming around loudly and constantly arguing, but is always a wonderfully accurate satire. It is about steep work hierarchies, elbow mentality in the job and the great longing to be part of the production of significant cultural content.
“Breaking Bad” star Bryan Cranston gives the multi-million doors of the Continental Studios, who keeps pulling and scolding over the independent industry and degraded studio boss Matt to the well-known employee. As predictable as this is sometimes, the briskly told ten divider develops its very own irony, including numerous stranger moments and dismantles the myth of culturally valuable Hollywood film, even in the series. Matt Remnick embodies the great contradiction between commerce and art with which the US film industry lives and which is always dissolved in favor of business logic. This series is very entertaining how meaningful for this great drama in Hollywood in Hollywood, while one shouldn’t be.
