Andy Kaufman
I have yet to see this film but I've seen enough footage of it and heard enough to see that this mockumentary could very well been inspired by the work of the "legendary", Andy Kaufman. Would this be deemed to be at the same level of "genius" as fans of the late performance artist would purport? I don't know but never the less the parallels are there. I won't go in to detail what they are because quite frankly I think it speaks for itself.
