May 25, 2016 One of the greatest things I've ever seen. I can't stop thinking about it. It's on YouTube. Go watch it now. See more Apr 2, 2016 In the late 70s, Trent Harris was testing out a camera for a TV station he worked for, and ran into a strange man who did impressions. The man later invited Harris to a talent show, in which he performed as Olivia Newton-John in full drag. This short documentary forms the first segment of the "The Beaver Trilogy." The second part is a cheaply made dramatic recreation of the events starring a young Sean Penn as the impersonator. The third is another dramatic recreation, this time starring Crispin Glover and featuring slightly higher production values and a little more story. It is all very weird. I also kinda liked it. See more Mar 11, 2016 Uneven little cult film is unusual but monotonous. See more Sep 2, 2015 I suppose that this is a part documentary as the first segment profiles a young man attempting to be dramatic into a camera. Sean Penn and Crispin Glover try to recreate the scene many years later with varying degrees of success. More special interest than anything worth remembering. See more Feb 24, 2013 This movie is an interesting experiment. The director takes real footage about a real person and then re-shoots and tweaks it 2 different times with actors. The real footage is funny and weird, the recreations are also humorous and strange. See more Jan 2, 2010 Kolme lyhytelokuvaa muodostavat yhdessä kokonaisuuden, joka on täydellinen. Näyttää kuinka sama tarina kulkee dokumentista fiktioksi ja miten fiktio omalla tavallaan kertoo "totuuden" paremmin. Osiot kuvattu vuosina 1979, 1981, 1985. See more Read all reviews
