So, 'News of the Weird: Textilist Colonies' dives into this quirky world of textilism through Elaine Baxandall's explorative lens. It's got this wonderfully light-hearted tone that balances the absurdity of its subject matter. The pacing feels a bit meandering at times, but it kind of adds to the charm—like you're wandering through a bizarre art installation. The interviews are where it really shines; you get this mix of genuine curiosity and whimsical responses that paint a vivid picture of the textilist lifestyle. The practical effects aren't overblown, which keeps the focus on the people and their eccentric clothing choices. It's just this odd little gem that offers a peek into an unseen subculture without any pretentiousness.
