Description
The last time we saw filmmaker Alan Zweig was in his documentary hit Vinyl, which used obsession and record collecting as metaphors for his search for the hidden truths of a life that seemed off the rails. Back on track with his latest film, Zweig is still collecting. This time he collects an entertaining cast of characters who share his sense of humour and willingness to dive into the subterranean world of negativity. This is not to say that all curmudgeons are negative, it's just that the "sickeningly positive types" sometimes perceive them that way. The film cleverly examines the risks of being a naysayer in a society continually pitching the positive. For Zweig, the naysayers are today's heroes, the ones who are not afraid to say, 'Hey, the emperor has no clothes!' - Official Selection, 2004 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival / The Silver Hugo - Chicago International Film Festival, 2005 / Honorary Mention - Brooklyn Underground Film Festival, 2005
