Les mercredis de l'histoire: Opération lune (2002)
Eyes wide open - eventually
A splendid, intelligent and very funny manipulation of the audience (at least this single piece of audience. ;-] ) I will to mention the plot and just applaud the way the film messes with ones feelings. It reminds me of the excellent Belgian pseudo-documentary "C'est arrivé près de chez vous" (1992) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103905/ which also made the viewer doubt his or her own judgement.
What bothers me about this form is that facts are mixed with fiction so that you are left without a clue about which pieces of information to believe. But I guess that's a major point of the project...
By the way, what an impressive list of interview victims (Kissinger, Rumsfeld, Haig, Kubricks widow etc. How did the director get these people to cooperate? Are we talking about a subtle counter-hoax from the White House to cover up the original conspiration and make it impossible to put forward this original conspiration theory in the future? ;-) The conspiration continues ...
Men Behaving Badly (1992)
»Classic!«
There's absolutely nothing glamorous about the life of Tony and Gary. As a matter of fact they are kind of pathetic and sad. Nevertheless, I would love to spend much more time with them.
This series is a splendid, intelligent alternative to the dominating American sit-com culture. In short (and in Gary's and Tony's own words): »Classic!«
PS: Did I mention that Dorothy and Deborah are unusually funny, too. But to me, they'll never be role models like G&T.
And a PPS to American television producers: PLEASE don't try to transform MBB into an American version!
