A tribute introduction to Jennifer Kroot's definitive look at the Kuchar Brothers, It Came From Kuchar, by Daniel Fawcett and Clara Pais at One+One Filmmakers Journal http://oneplusonejournal.co.uk/2012/08/31/eyeblaze-3-it-came-from-kuchar/

Amiably conventional film concerning two all-time heroes of unconventional filmmaking, ICFK doesn't transcend its formal limitations but does give clues as to how the Kuchars transcended theirs. The film's especially intimate portrait of George connects far-flung dots of his inspirations -- H'wood, Catholicism, underground comix, loneliness, weird parents -- & filters them through his own unavoidable inner sweetness.

FNC '11 Great documentary looking at the personalities and the work of the Kuchar brothers. They represent an underground cinema that sadly is no longer with us but has certainly inspired many a filmmaker and video artist. The films excerpted are just magical in a certain way that one just can't look away from. Lacks the depthness of a film like "Crumb" but certainly an amazing introduction to important work.

I liked the subjects way more than the film itself, so my stars are really for the Kuchars.

George and Mike Kuchar are two of the most interesting cult figures of the 20th century, and this documentary portrait captures their lives and art in all of their lively eccentricity. As funny and entertaining as it is deep and culturally fascinating. Highly recommended.

I love this film. It shows perfectly well how George and Mike's work is an extension of who they are as people. This film is fun, entertaining and inspiring.

I can't wait to see this! Hope it will get an international release or at least comes out on DVD soon.
