The Beaver Trilogy

"We finally got a [distribution] deal set up and Sean Penn came in and stuck his big, fat fucking stupid face in it and killed the whole deal." - Trent Harris interview, Vice.com

Beaver Trilogy is underpinned by a riveting and emotionally compelling story. The coincidence of Harris casting Penn and Glover ratchets up the surreality. I first heard about the film via This American Life episode 226: Reruns. Beaver Trilogy makes for a great radio show and even an interesting film curio, but I'd be hard-pressed to say that what exists within the frame can stand alone as a competent work of cinema.

It's a beautiful display of what is, how to mock and how to make film about it. I've never seen anything like this. It's amazing.
