A night at the opera, part 3
Finally, the third film from our night of the triple feature (see the two posts below): a documentary about mole rats, circus performers, robots and the art of topiary. I kid you not. Our hostess tells us that if we listen carefully, we will come to understand the choice for the title (Fast, Cheap & Out of Control, directed by the Erroll Morris, who is known to me because of his later success, the Fog of War -- and also because I find a name that doubles so many letters uniquely easy to remember). But she dozes off again and we lose the nuance of the film in the course of obsessing about the absence of (sexual) energy in at least one of the lead narrators.
P.S. That was a fantastic Bolognese pasta sauce, Ms. Althouse! And Ms. Tonya Show, I’ll get on your case later today. I know we are hitting your anniversary. You are not the Forgotten One.
