Director: Don Argott
Why do we mistrust documentaries that make no pretense about their position on a particular subject? Or I guess, why do I mistrust them? I suppose it's because it has an agenda - it desperately needs me to agree with its position. Also, there may well be some obfuscation going on behind the scenes; I may not be getting all the facts.
The Art Of The Steal is wonderfully one-sided - it takes a strangely elitist tack that it's difficult to disagree with. Everything is well laid out, the music is a fine Philip Glass knockoff, although I must take issue with having titles to various 'chapters' of the movie - that came off as amateurish. Regardless, it's an interesting story that touches on the importance of property rights and 'the greater good'.
