See more 06/02/2012 Audience of one is one of those documentaries you watch and go through a whole series of emotions. Initially, you're drawn in on the preachers passion for what he's doing, making a movie, and the drive he puts behind it. Later on you start to realize things aren't what they seem, no one seems to know what they're doing. Next comes disbelief as Satan starts to take the blame for the failures. Next you start to laugh when you really know you shouldn't and lastly you sit with mouth wide open as you watch an air-liner crash into a train wreck and both slide down a hill into the sea and sink an ocean liner. Stunning stuff. This is a wonderful documentary that highlights what anyone can achieve when they feel they're on a mission from God. also it highlights how the blind will follow the blind through absolutely anything when, they too, are led to believe they are doing God's work. Richard Gazowsky is a Pentecostal preacher in San Francisco and he receives a vision/calling from God to make a sci-fi movie about the story of Joseph. He, allegedly, secures funding from an offshore source and flies his small congregation to Italy to start filming. Sparing no expense, he purchases hi-tech equipment and crew and starts to film... slowly. Dogged by problems the crew comes back home and leases some high-priced real estate from the city to produce the movie. Problem is, there is no movie and this leads to a warehouse full of people (the congregation) sitting around, goofing off and basically doing nothing including paying their bills. As the whole project implodes in on itself due to the alleged investors withdrawing, Gazowsky appears to become more and more irrational and will not admit defeat. In the closing parts of the documentary we see him reveal to his congregation God's new plan for the church that blows insanity out of the stratosphere. This documentary is riveting. You can't not watch it to the end as disbelief turns to pity for Gazowsky and his followers. In his mind, there's nothing he can't do as it's all God's will. If it fails, it's Satan's fault and it's onto the next project. See more Read all reviews
