Eating the Wall Street Journal (3rd version)

About This Movie

Eating the Wall Street Journal (3rd version) is a unique documentary that’s hard to pin down. It’s raw, visceral, and kind of absurd. Pope.L’s performance atop that throne really sets a tone that's both disturbing and oddly compelling. There’s an unsettling juxtaposition of the mundane and the bizarre as he reads the Wall Street Journal in just a jockstrap and flour. The pacing drifts, allowing viewers to soak in those moments of discomfort and absurdity. It’s not just about the act itself; it’s a commentary on capitalism, media consumption, and the human experience. The practical effects—like the flour—add a tactile quality that makes you feel the weight of the performance. It's definitely a statement piece in the world of experimental cinema.
