Beauty Day

About This Movie

Beauty Day is this wild ride through the life of Ralph Zavadil, aka Cap'n Video. It totally captures that insane, reckless spirit of early internet fame before the likes of Jackass blew up. The documentary has this raw, chaotic energy; you feel like you're right there with him as he attempts some truly absurd stunts – I mean, drinking eggs through his nostrils? The pacing keeps you on your toes, oscillating between moments of genuine risk and zany humor. The way it examines performance, both on-screen and in life, is pretty intriguing. Plus, the practical effects are just him, a camera, and a bit of madness. It’s a fascinating snapshot of a time when the absurd reigned supreme.
