Byzantine Autistic Manouvering



I just watched this movie after years of hearing how great it is. And I was stupid to avoid it, assuming that it couldn't be entertaining whatever the pitch. It actually is as amazing as every critic thought it was. The trailer is pretty self-explanatory, but it just can't convey the numerous shots of telling blank faces. Obviously, the documentary makers did a lot to come up with a narrative, as they almost always do. Interestingly enough, it only made me think of another brilliant documentary about the amount of faking needed to make a documentary,Opération Lune. Maybe every documentary should be released only with it's anti-documentary as a double bill.
