Crazy Love (2007)
"Hey, even Hitler had friends"
I loved this documentary, an intimate view into one of the strangest, unimaginable love stories ever heard of. Burton and Linda Pugach are living proof that love can conquer all. This film expertly tells their tale of love, revenge, obsession, infidelity, heartache, loss, and ultimately, forgiveness in a straightforward way. There is enough real emotion in the story that the filmmakers wisely let through without milking any moments or pandering to the audience. Dan Klores (the Director) found the right people, asked the right questions, and did a great job of guiding this story towards its' conclusion in an interesting and compelling fashion. Fans of documentaries will love this movie as will fans of love stories and dramas. Anyone who has ever felt unrequited love or heartache will identify with this movie. There are many questions raised as one watches this movie, such as: Could I have ever done something as awful as Burt? Could I ever be as forgiving as Linda? You will hate these people and love these people by the time the movie is over, often simultaneously. You will be frustrated, angry, teary eyed, laughing, shocked, and cathartic by movies end, but most importantly, as a testament to the filmmakers prowess, you will be left wishing you could see all 100 hrs that Klores shot. If it is true that Klores plans to direct only 1 more documentary before attempting to direct feature films (non-documentaries) only, I will be 1st in line for that movie as well.
