Such a huge dissapointment, and a real waste of what could have
been an interesting subject. This feels like it was made for a
school project, lacking direction and focus. Broomfield even says
in his voice over at one point that he doesn't have a "catch" for the
story. It rambles, and only takes shape (and gained its publicity)
after Courtney Love tried to get it stopped. How ironic.
The camerawork is shaky, and the picture surprisingly bad. I have
a tiny DV camera that produces a better picture than this. Why are
there so many shots of cars drving, and people walking up stairs,
and all manner of things that should never have made it out of the
editing room.
A variety of drugged up losers are trawled out to say provocative
things, without anything being substantiatied in the slightest. El
Duce (?) changes his story depending on what Broomfield
prompts him with, and the rest of the interviewers seem like
rejects from Jerry Springer.
So bad.
I won't go on...
