What do an elderly topiary gardener, a retired lion tamer, a man fascinated by mole rats, and a cutting-edge robotics designer have in common? Both nothing and everything in this unconventional documentary directed by Erroll Morris. Fast, Cheap & Out of Control (Referring to the robot specialist's strange philosophy of robot design structure, not Erroll Morris's documentary techniques!) interplays, overlaps, and interrelates these four separate and highly specialized documentary subjects in order to in truth study all of humanity, raising questions about the future of mankind.
Leave your thoughts about Fast, Cheap & Out of Control.
| Common Sense MediaM. FaustUnusual documentary pointless but engrossing. |
| ViceJason Bailey'Fast, Cheap' is about nothing less than our grand experiment - the struggle not only to be human, but to create order in a world bereft of it. |
| Needcoffee.comWidgett WallsThe only trouble with this documentary is not in telling people what it's about, but rather trying to figure out if there's anything that it's not about. |
| Nitrate OnlineDan LybargerA typically quirky and intriguing offering from Morris. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA perfect choice for those who want something completely different in their video viewing. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenA unique film. Morris puts four disparate characters together into one film, making penetrating observations about the nature of humanity. |
| Looking CloserJeffrey OverstreetFast, Cheap & Out of Control convinced me that a documentary can be a poem. |
| Old School ReviewsJohn A. Nesbitdemonstrates that [Morris] continues to find fascinating subject matter outside the mainstream |
| User ReviewMiya SLions, robots, mole rats, and topiary animals have nothing in common. Or do they? |
| User ReviewOakley ALike the recurrent image of a clown chased by a skeleton, this documentary reveals human beings in all their creativity, obsessiveness, selfishness and impermanence. But by allowing these men to express themselve on camera, Errol Morris (with his usual deadpan, non-judgemental interviewer's perspective) also makes them suddenly closer to everyone who sees this film...and ensures that a portion of them will live on as long as the film itself exists. Could this be as close to a collective-consciousness vision of Heaven as Earthly life allows? |
