Great movie. There’s also an amazing NZ short that played with this (at least when I saw it in NYC) called Signing Off. Would love a copy of that if you can find it.
Oh man, I’m psyched, looking forward to seeing this!
I used to have an old DIVX Stage6 rip (man, that was a while ago…) but the resolution was so low that i never popped it in. I kept hoping to get a real DVD/BD but the prices were nuts since it was out of print.
Really needs to include The “making of” documentary. I think it is called something like Behind the Bullshit. It is included in the DVD boxed set.
You can watch it here https://www.nzonscreen.com/title/behind-the-bull-2000
I’ve seen this and it’s a good watch. Very entertaining if you’re in on the joke. I too heard that a lot of people were mad when the found out this was all a gag.
I wonder if the director’s career every recovered from the scandal??
I don’t think there was a serious, lasting backlash? Director Costa Botes has worked fairly steadily for 3 decades and has several festival-winning documentaries. He never made anything as prominent and renown as Forgotten Silver, but you could say that about many other doc directors who have had a lucky one break through.
Ah, Jackson’s infamous mockumentary that fooled all of the Pacific. I take it he made a lot of people angry, when they realized they had been made fools of. Unless that’s an urban tale.
