I'm not sure what to make of this documentary. It's fast-paced and makes full use of various video effects in whatever editing program was used. A few minutes into the doco I thought the editing was corny, as if a beginner was playing with whatever effects were available with little thought as to suitability. Then I began to think that, no, they knew what they were doing, and purposely wanted to convey the frenzied, kitchy look. Regarding the look, I'm undecided: amateurs, or confident professionals imitating amateurs?
The narrator, also the writer and director, has a commanding presence, telling the story from the point of view of a private eye who travels the world in search of evidence that women need romance, involvement, to enjoy sex. The story is told largely in rhyme.
I think the doco works, but I'm not sure. As a novice video editor myself, I wanted to view it a second time to concentrate on the editing, see what I could learn, but other than streaming it, I couldn't find a DVD or Blu-ray copy to purchase.
Strange. People spend a whole lot of time and money on a doco and release it only to TV? Seems a waste to me.
