David Holzman's Diary (1967)
26 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
David creates a video diary and attempts to record every moment of his life. He becomes alienated and the constant filming causes his girlfriend to leave him. In between monologues, David talks with people on the street and voyeuristically films women and peeks into their windows. Eventually his camera gear is stolen, thus ending the film.

This is not found footage although I found it on a list of FF movies. It's SO close, but it isn't. When his apartment is robbed, he lists what was stolen which included all of his cameras and electronics. He didn't mention stolen footage. And indeed, if he had the means to record the outro of the movie, then he must have had all the footage the entire time. If it was gone, he would never have been able to pair the outro he made after the theft with the stuff he recorded prior to the theft. This isn't found footage, it's just footage.

This is supposed to be a dark kind of comedy. I didn't really find it that humorous and I didn't like the main character. Must have gone over my head.
