I think this movie is one of the best documentaries of the last few years.
At the least, certainly for any one w/ interest in rock 'n roll, one should
find it fairly easy to agree, imho.
Chris Carter(Dramarama, manager of Wondermints and Stu from the Negro
Problem, who was an important part of getting this film done for many years
now) was kind enough to lend me his copy of the movie last month and I found
this movie was filled with a special heart and soul for its primary
character, Rodeny Bingenheimer(what's refreshing is that it witholds
judgement on Rodney and let's the viewer decide what to think inside its
documentary frameworking)----and I was quite moved by it in parts. It had
a uncomplicated grace that fit the subject matter wonderfully, lovingly and
framed a complex character, truthfully(as much as the viewer could determine
and judge, of course, on such matters) and...... faithfully to those who
love him, I am guessing.
And Zelig moments in Rodney's life are really cool and quite
amusing......the guy has been AROUND!
SEE IT!
