Whatever Happened to Zworl Quern? is a fascinating deep dive into the life of Janet Wolfe, a woman who certainly had her quirks. It captures this almost circus-like essence of 80s avant-garde documentary filmmaking. There's a rawness in the interviews, as friends and family recount wild stories, like the infamous moment she was sawed in half by Orson Welles—talk about performance art! The pacing is almost dreamlike, bouncing between her escapades in love and art, making it feel like you're flipping through a scrapbook rather than watching a straightforward doc. There's a charm in the practical effects used during her performances, adding a layer of absurdity that complements her larger-than-life persona. It’s definitely for those who appreciate the oddities of film history and the lesser-known characters who colored it.
