You need to see all the films by Chris Smith. ALL OF THEM. I would classify them as sociological comedies.
"American Job" - Not a doc, but you think you're watching a doc
"American Movie" - A doc, but you cannot believe it's a doc
"Home Movie" - Again, a doc, but unbelievable
"The Yes Men" - A head-smacking stunt doc, no way this can be true
"The Pool" - I haven't seen this new one yet. Is it fiction? It's playing at Film Forum Sept. 3-16.
MoMA is having a CHRIS SMITH: AMERICAN ORIGINAL retrospective with all the above, from Aug. 29-Sept. 1.
