Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control

Screening on Film
Directed by Errol Morris .
US, 1997, 35mm, color, 82 min.

A quartet of portraits of individuals who have embarked on visionary career paths that are nevertheless linked by a passion for the animal world, Fast, Cheap & Out of Control is Morris’s most visually arresting film to date. In it we encounter Dave Hoover, a protégé of legendary lion-trainer Clive Beatty; landscape gardener George Mendonca who spends his days tending a menagerie of hedges precisely formed into wild animals; futurist Rodney Brooks and his tiny out-of-control robots (also fast and cheap); and Ray Mendez, a deeply committed rodent specialist.
