What on Earth Have I Done Wrong? 情非得已之生存之道 (Taiwan, 2007)
Rating: Fresh 8 out of 10 tomatoes.

I don't know what to say about this unconventional film. I saw it in a theater, so it at least got a local theatrical release. Such low budget endeavors such as this probably don't deserve this high of a rating, but something about it worked for me.

It's a local Taiwanese "mockumentary", mocking the director's own life. It's a fake documentary about the director trying to make a film but hits so many personal and professional roadblocks that he turns the project into a fake documentary about how the documentary came about. The documentary, which is fake. Yea, I'm still trying to figure it out, and that's part of the cleverness of this film.

All the characters are playing themselves, but every scene is on a set. Aside from that technical question, the film is about the seriously flawed director and how he comes to grip with his flaws and how they lead to a cathartic revelation about happiness and what kind of person to be to be happy. The dramatic catharses along with the sophomoric ruminations on happiness actually work to make this film poignant and memorable.
