Synopsis

Can one man with a dream win the heart of the world’s most powerful woman? This is a documentary like none you have seen before — the first musical docu-tragi-comedy in the history of cinema. Part Borat, part Fahrenheit 9/11, it follows a love-struck soul’s hilarious, emotionally engaging, and ultimately shocking quest to woo former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. A spin on the Rapunzel fairy-tale, this unique romantic/political/biographic feature follows Devin Ratray, a portly website designer, musician, former child actor (famed as Buzz in Home Alone), and besotted admirer of Condi, as he prepares to meet her. As Devin travels the country, learning more about the great lady from those who know her, Courting Condi tells the life story of one of our era’s most controversial figures, and one of the first retrospectives of the Bush Adminstration.

Pode um homem sonhador ganhar o coração da mulher mais poderosa do mundo? Na linha de Borat e Fahrenheit 11/9, o documentário acompanha uma jornada cômica e escandalosa com o objetivo de conquistar a ex-Secretária de Estado Condoleezza Rice. Sátira de Rapunzel, este misto de romance, filme político e biografia acompanha Devin Ratray, um homem grandalhão que trabalha como webdesigner, músico e já foi ator-mirim (com um pequeno papel em Esqueceram de Mim), um grande admirador de “Condi”, em seus preparativos para se encontrar com ela. Enquanto Devin viaja pelos EUA entrevistando as pessoas que a conheceram, o filme faz o retrato de uma das figuras mais controversas de nossa época – e um dos primeiros retrospectos dos oito anos da era Bush.

Buzz is actually Qaddafi in drag. Or in other words, Qadaffi was in Home Alone.

really a tragicomedy musical doc. Overall, a very nice original production.
