Review of Crazy Love (2007) by Chris G — 30 Oct 2007

So absurd and ridiculous yet completely true! I don't even know how to begin on this one. This documentary chronicles the "odd" relationship of a successful lawyer, Burt Pugach, and a woman, Linda Pugach, that's gone on for 50 years.

The relationship begins fairly sweet but then goes to all sorts of heights, including Burt hiring two men to throw acid in Linda's face when she breaks up with him. Yikes! But when he gets out of prison, she marries him!! And it's still nuts from there.

It's mostly "talking heads" but this story is so bizarre and the two (who actually perform interviews) are so fascinating that you easily become engrossed in the film. Absolutely insane look at obsessive love.
