Review

i just got a glimpse of my future and it doesn’t look too good. a documentary following five film buffs in new york city, none of whom have a job. as a result they have the whole day to themselves and watch films all day. they range from eccentric intellectuals to obsessive compulsive schizophrenics. provided a good dose of perspective in terms of my movie consumption. anyone who thinks that 300 movies in a year is a lot should check this one out. at times funny and at times sorta depressing. the filmmakers chose to let the subjects decide where the film would go. a couple of the subjects just talk film the entire time, while a couple others choose to talk about their obsession with film and where it stems from and how it has affected their lives. a well-made documentary.
