Review of Fast, Cheap & Out of Control (1997) by Barbara H — 19 Mar 2010
A intriguing and entertaining documentary film about four men and their passions - lion taming, robotics, topiary and mole rats. Thefilm lets the men speak for themselves - there's no "directors narrative" telling you what to think - and the visuals and the voiceovers of the four subject areas interlink at times.
.. .so you might be watching a lion tamer but listening to a hedge cutter (and damned if you can tell the difference between the four sometimes). I THINK the film is all about the interconnectedness between, well, everything - animal, vegetable and mineral - but I 'm not really sure.
Watching this film was like struggling to grasp a nugget of wisdom that's being held tantalisingly just out of reach.
