   Is there a name for the genre of film adaptations of literary works that get turned into fictionalized versions of their authors' biographies? Like "Naked Lunch", Soderbergh's "Kafka", or "The Master and Margarita (2024)". 🤔

     @dosnostalgic You have to watch A Cock and Bull Story. A film about failing to make a film about a book about failing to make a book.

     I would *not* call any of the three films I've mentioned biopics. 🤷♂️ Or am I just wrong, and literally anything about the author's life could be a "biopic", even if it's fictional? 🤔
