Fantastic Fest 2014
Screening #25
Crazy documentary we got here. It's about a pathological liar who aims to be the greatest martial artist from Canada. We're following Elliot and his long term girlfriend as he tells his story about how badass he is and the movies he's done. We see him making his 3rd low budget movie. It's very awful but it makes the doc funny because this guy is very serious about his work. His girlfriend is tired of his shit but somehow she's there holding strong. A lot of stuff happens and things get revealed. Crazy dramatic ending. And the funny thing is that this is all real. I enjoyed it as a documentary. It actually won Best Documentary at the Fantastic Fest awards. Me personally, loved the Electric Boogaloo documentary more but this was also entertaining.
If you want to see a documentary about a man with lots of hope and confidence but also has a dark side, check this doc out.
