SXSW Review: ‘It Came From Kuchar’ Documentary
Another review from this month’s SXSW Film Festival is for Jennifer M. Kroot’s It Came From Kuchar, which is a hilarious and touching documentary about the legendary, underground filmmaking twins, the Kuchar brothers. “[The film] is an important document of one man’s never ending quest to create art–whether or not you like it or not, it’s immaterial to George Kuchar. He lives and breaths cinema, it defines him, it motivates him and it has immortalized him and all his celluloid madness.” Click the title for the full review or here to keep up wth our SXSW coverage.
