MeinPanzer posted:Just finished The Jinx, and it strikes me that in an odd way it and The Act of Killing are similar in some ways. Both deal with individuals who ostensibly showed no sign of remorse for having killed people and gotten away with it; both deal with confronting those individuals over and over again with the details of what they did and the lives of the people they killed; and both end with the killer vomiting after realizing how the process of producing the documentary has affected them. I was struck by this similarity as well. Of course, the Act of Killing is about much more than one man, but Anwar Congo did indeed remind me of Bob Durst.

I just saw the Devil and Daniel Johnston. I think it lionizes him a bit too much without convincing the audience of his "genius". A bipolar Brian Wilson? Come on. Still, it left me hungry for more rock-docs focusing on colorful personalities. Dig! is another, and probably better, example of what I'm looking for.

Just saw Lost Soul, the story of the troubled production of the 1996 Island of Dr. Moreau. It's similar at times to Jodorowsky's Dune and Lost in La Mancha, and makes for a pretty good trainwreck kind of story with a neat little twist at the end. Lots of good anecdotes, but something about it feels a little bit slapshod, with sections kind of tacked on. Worth the hour and a half, though.

Are there any docs on an "underground" far left group in the contemporary US? Like Antifa, Maoists, or whoever dresses up in black and breaks poo poo during protests. But here's the kicker - without being an Alex Jones scare story for racist uncles. Something like "When a Tree Falls", but...better.

Has anyone seen "Expedition Content" or know how it is possible to do so? https://letterboxd.com/film/expedition-content/

I had never heard of Savile before the big expose after his death. Who would his level of popularity/place in UK pop culture be comparable to in the US?

Looking a 20 minute or less documentary or youtube video. Really anything interesting, but especially if it has to do with quantum entanglement, the nature of consciousness, ghosts/UFOs/bigfoot, native american traditions and mound sites, and any combination thereof.
