CGiii Comment

A German terrorist...a bank robber...an 'ex-gay' evangelist...a martial arts student...tell their incredibly dull stories - aided by some lousy puppets.

Talking heads, puppets, archival footage and seriously flawed research...seemingly, Yu only interviewed 4 people - the 4 who appear in the film.

Bizarre.

The(ir) Blurb...

Jessica Yu's documentary explores the relationship between human life and Euripidean dramatic structure by weaving together the stories of four men: German terrorist, a bank robber, an "ex-gay" evangelist, and a martial arts student.
