Fast, Cheap and Out of Control



Fast, Cheap and Out of Control via Netflix Streaming.

This was the most compelling documentary I've watched, well, ever. It's a series of interviews of a topiary artist, naked mole rat researcher, robotics engineer and lion trainer intermixed with old movie, cartoon, circus and other footage.

Sounds boring, doesn't it? It's not. Give this movie a try, I think you'll like it. You can stream it live from Netflix. The netflix summary:

Acclaimed filmmaker Errol Morris paints a fascinating portrait of four obsessed eccentrics in Fast, Cheap and Out of Control. Morris weaves interviews with a wild animal trainer, a topiary gardener, a robot designer and an expert on the naked mole rat together with old movies, cartoons and stock footage, creating a compelling, kaleidoscopic look at the very thin line that separates madness from genius.
