Party Monster: The Shockumentary
(1998)
OK, let me be clear about this: where does a shockumentary fall in the continuum from documentary to mockumentary? To the left of schlockumentary? To the right of crockumentary? (Of course, the jockumentary, à la Hoop Dreams, is on a whole different scale; ditto 24, the weekly tick-tockumentary.)
I just finished reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, so it's probably a good idea to counteract the impulse to begin ingesting illicit drugs with reckless abandon; this works quite nicely, thank you: sweet young boy from South Bend winds up on Rikers.
