Delusions in Modern Primitivism (2000)
25 Jun 2000 • Short • 0h 17m
My friend and I were also taken in by this docu-satire (also viewing it on The Sundance Channel) and, actually, our not knowing (until afterward) that the people and actions being depicted weren't fact but, rather, fiction just added to the power of this very smart and effective film. "Delusions in Modern Primitivism" is so well-executed - acting, writing and direction are all first rate - that we were truly able to suspend disbelief.(Now that we know it was staged, we want to see the film again in order to even more fully appreciate it.) Being an aficionado of the documentary genre, a lover of good satire, and having just witnessed a "tattoo and body arts festival," this film was particularly satisfying. Jerome's final destination in this film? Nowhere!
