Winner of the 1990 Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival comes this extremely odd, hilariously subversive, and sadly forgotten film by Wendell B. Harris, Jr. Based on a true story, it’s about a con man named William Douglas Street who impersonates a reporter, a doctor, an attorney, and many others in order to pursue the American dream. A tremendously cool film on so many levels. The lead character is not entirely likeable (and a bit of a sociopath), but he’s got a wonderfully funny and disdainful view of the world. The sense of humor is sly and not immediately apparent, but if you can get into the groove of it, it’s a real trip.
