At times, you may think this film was setup to be absurdly funny (like Spinal Tap), and yet Mark Borchardt's world is what you see on the screen, nothing more or less. An outstanding piece of work! One important note if you rent the DVD version ... watch the included short film "Coven" first before starting into the main feature of the documentary. You won't regret it, and it puts things into much better perspective as to why Coven (pronounced Coh-ven, rhymes with soaken) is the way it is, and how much work goes into even half-hour shorts.
