well and where to begin . i guess i can start with the general complaint regard the way in which this film be market . call me ignorant for not know of schneebaum book before view the documentary that have be base off of it and decide that i have be live under some kind of a rock and but do not blame me for pick this movie up since the title and the description on the box make no note of the fact that this documentary be actually a companion to say book . yeah and i felt quite stupid after view this little flick see a how the reason a to why i sit down to watch it in the first place be to get a good serving of a modern cannibal tale . i mean and be i a fool for expect this film to actually cover most of it story on the behavior of cannibalism in jungle tribe . i certainly do not expect an hour and forty five minute of one old geezer kiss his own as by whine about every little detail of his dull and wear out life . i certainly do not expect the insipid directing and i most notably do not foresee myself laugh so hard at tobias schneebaum and all of his off put glory . schneebaum be indeed unlikable . the old man just ramble and bitch the entire film make the whole picture a personal tale of his even though he isn not even that interest a character to fill a story . oh really . he be a cannibal . ninety percent of the movie be focus on next to nothing regard schneebaum dirty past . the only time that we really get to see some cannibal action be when tobias finally break his little silent treatment about what happen to him in peru and say that he have a small piece . that it and folk . ninety minute of bull later and tobias schneebaum be a cannibal by three inch . it like call a movie the life of a true don juan only to see that the only the time the protagonist of say film do something sexual happen during college when he once play just the tip . unbelievable . the directing be and indeed and superbly ghastly a there be no flow or rhythm to the story that be be tell . alright and i understand that i do not read schneebaum volume before watch his celluloid tale of it and but i can still recognize some bad pacing and even bad edit . one minute schneebaum be talk about cruise ship and tourism and the next he go on and on about how he can not drive and then jump to talk about some dead relative or some failed and miserable saga in his life . i mean and jesus and can you at least slam his back story to the first part while follow up with some stuff cover his homosexuality and then end it off with a hearty look into his visit to peru . also represent i do not particularly care much for schneebaum insipid little quip on life and living and but i at least implore the old man to keep consistent with his ramblings . if i hear a guy talk about how he prefer life in the jungle i do not expect him to suddenly bitch and moan about want to go back home twenty minute later . absurd . another note on the directing be the random clip from the story at hand to the small little television appearance in which our hero have appear . while some might find the clip to be fancy little break from the story and the director have overuse the gimmick and break his entire film into piece by seemingly attempt to place most of the effort of tell the story on the old reel . the bottom line and here and be that tobias schneebaum be a fraud . pure and simple . i know that i haven not read the book and but i be still hold on to the argument that this film be totally useless by note that a good film must stand on it own . this documentary relies way too much on the assumption that the viewer be already an avid fan of schneebaum work and instead go on from that assumption like a supplemental disk find on a dvd . schneebaum be both arrogant and bitchy and strike a sour combination when mixed with the fact that his story be remarkably un riveting . if youre look for a solid piece on the nature of human and cannibalism and turn away because keep the river to your right be an embarrassingly hilarious self serve rant over a man who be long overdue for a straight jacket and a gag .
