It Came From Kuchar

Great title first off. And, along the same lines, the menu animation excellent as well. Many thanks to Jennifer for putting this together, and I kept thinking while I was watching this, without a moment to spare because of George's passing last year. This documentary gathers just everything you'd want to know about Mike and George. And their many actors and actresses. In depth discussion and examples of both of the brothers' filmic style. Wonderful interviews from many, known and little known. Many excerpts from their films are sprinkled throughout the program and if I had one complaint it would be that we are not treated to a full-length Kuchar film. But I'm sure this was thoroughly discussed and debated and the absence of one must be due to circumstances beyond control. NEVERTHELESS, this is a soup to nuts essay, feature-length style, of the wonderful film world of the brothers Kuchar. Thank you again Jennifer and co. Addendum: A full length commentary with the brothers is a bonus feature during which told is an incredible story by Mike and the contact he experienced with Valerie Solanas who attempted to murder Andy Warhol.                              2/10/13
