5a strangely riveting documentary  Mar 02, 2004

the director of this had a brilliant concept.
take a incredibly mundane subject and just analyze it.
in it he follows about 7 or so paperboys . he asks them what they think the future holds for papers boys or what music they listen to.
just this most mundane sounding source material results in a funny quasi emotional film.
the included feature "DEFORMER" is.... interesting.
i liked the directors choice of that elliot smith (RIP) song as the theme.
