Review of Tabloid (2011) by Art S — 26 Jul 2012
Errol Morris takes his interrotron into less weighty territory (after Fog of War and Standard Operating Procedure tackled politics and deceit head on), here focusing on a "barking mad" former beauty queen who attracts tabloid attention through some pretty weird and obsessive acts.
Where sex was involved, the British tabloids followed -- especially in 1977. At best, the 4 or 5 talking heads produce a "Rashomon" type feeling about the nature of truth, but the content, though somewhat lurid, is something we've seen many times before now that we've reached 2012.
Morris has taken us on better trips in the past, although he certainly has honed his skills at putting together a film.
