Interesting documentary that works extremely hard to capture a rather obtuse and difficult to pin down subject. At times downright hilarious, sad, touching and unsurprisingly bizarre, I was left with a feeling of not really knowing who this person is/was...what was bs and what wasn't, what made him tick and that's probably just fine. Who really knows anybody anyway. The bottom line is that it was well worth watching. Thanks for the loan, PW!
I think LaVey lived his whole life as one big prank on a society he disdained. He was a dark comedian whose jokes no one ever got which suited him just fine. How truly evil could the guy who once wrote "While everyone is reading Nitzche, I'll be watching Don Ameche" really be?
