My favorite part was when he zooms in on a jar of pickled onions and says, “When I saw pickled onions in the supermarket, my heart leapt in the air. I love pickled onions.”
"it's not the art of motion pictures, it's the business — it's show business" – Marlon Brando preaching capitalism as Tony Kaye is having a philosophical meltdown over final cut on his film (and, for the record, this doc is better than American History X by a significant margin)
A fuck-you to the 1990s-era "indie" movement (Tarantino and all the Weinstein darlings). A punk Dada bomb lobbed into Tribeca. An anti-film, a non-film, that finds honesty in the world again through negation, which is the province of the best films. Tony Kaye leads the way in the continuity-through-discontinuity movement. As Rossellini said of Chaplin's A KING IN NEW YORK, it's the film of a free man — who knows he is not free. And so he adores this state. What others see as newsprint and refuse of the city, he sees as gold. Galvanizing as hell.
De film volgt de turbulente creatieve reis en artistieke worstelingen van filmmaker Tony Kaye na de release van American History X uit 1998.
Tony Kaye regisseerde deze documentaire uit 2026 en keerde hiervoor terug naar zijn persoonlijke archiefbeelden uit de jaren 90.
De film ging in première op het Tribeca Festival.
