Just finished viewing. Im left feeling nothing more or less than mid-level annoyance.
This is presented as a documentary - but parts were clearly staged. For example:
1) The 'spontaneous' banter with the party clown who was supposedly found through the internet, but was played by (pretty great) actor Pat Healy.
2) The tattooed nazi-fighting upstairs neighbor who HS supposedly thought had died a year earlier, but whom the 'documenatry' crew had somehow managed to shoot comprehensively (i.e., during the course of production, but prior to his death).
OK, so if it's one of them mockumentaries, what's the point? No one could possibly claim it to be funny. There are a few vaguely interesting thoughts scattered throughout, but nowhere near enough to justify the 90 minute running time (bringing N dG T into the fray was cringeful). Was the 'Mozart' BS, the blasé BS about his relatives' holocaust experience, and the blasé BS with the skulls in the catacombs meant to satirise pretentious monied millennial hipsters? If so, why would you bother? To present this type of dude as a self-involved tool would be like saying the sky is blue.
I can't think of too many reasons to recommend this. I liked the music OK, but I could have just listened to that on my phone while doing something more useful/satisfying with my time.
To summarise: This was every bit as annoying as 'I'm Still Here,' but at least that 'documentary' had a charismatic lead with something at stake - this one did not. If you know the guy's music, maybe you'll get something out of it - otherwise, I'd say you could easily skip it and not feel as though you'd missed out on much.
BTW: Jim Jarmusch is listed in the cast, but he appears for less than 10 seconds and doesn't say anything.
