Fast, Cheap and Out Of Control
Acclaimed film-maker Errol Morris ("The Thin Blue Line", "A Brief History of Time") paints a fascinating portrait of four obsessed eccentrics - a topiary gardener, a robot designer, a retired lion tamer and an expert on the naked mole rat - together with old movies, cartoons and stock footage for a compelling, kaleidoscopic look at the very thin line which separates madness from genius.
