American Collectors
(Bob Ridgley, Terri Krantz, USA, 2009, 60min.)
Most of us know someone who collects-30% of Americans do-and we love them anyway. But what drives obsessions such as this? That is the beating heart and prime directive of this verit documentary that examines the relationship between people and their objet du dsir. From rock band KISS memorabilia to antique axes, from bobble heads to a giant ball of string, each collector tells their story, and each fascinating tale cumulatively suggests that our proclivity to collect often means more than meets the eye. Filmmaking team Terri Krantz and Bob Ridgley stay admirably restrained as they artfully explore this entertaining topic and its cast of colorful characters.
