Great piece of film-making
9 November 2008
Normally i don't comment on films on this site because people get to caught up in the semantics of the film and forget all about what the film is. Let me start by saying i hate documentaries normally, because they are intrusive and they people who make them are normally assholes who don't know how to just leave it alone. This film however is a great self analytical journey exploring, life relationships and sex, the filmmaker puts himself in a very vulnerable position. The structure of the film is so solid, he begins with nothing and the pace is very slow, so you become aware of everything he is doing, analysing everything he is doing and thats where it truly shines because the pace quickens and the comedy kicks in. Most of it i believe has not been staged, well the emotional moments at least and a little bit of info for all those who complain about the "staged" moments....every documentary has been staged to make it seem more interesting, he just so happens to make it fit rather nicely and i don't give it a 9 very lightly as it has restored my faith in documentary filmmakers.
