09/20/2018 Ulrich Seidl has done some great films. Some of them documentaries. His films are often weird, quirky and provoking and this one is following his known track. We meet people that have some rather weird hobbies. They perform them in basements and we join in. There is nazi-fans, SM-fans and a lady that keeps creepy, real looking infant dolls on boxes down there. I don't know how Seidl found these people, and even more fascinating is why they tell their stories in front of cameras. Most of the people here are really something else and often they show stuff that's not commonly accepted. The main problem here is that this film seem too far out to be a documentary. His other fictional films seem more believeable than this stuff. Anyhow, it's an interesting peep into the lives of weirdoes and it will make you cringe and freak you out. 6 out of 10 freaks.

The kink scenes seemed to be the centerpiece as they were majority of the parts that were narrated, but the stares meeting the voyeuristic shots of the more commonplace basements were haunting.
