Zuuuul
Martin Strel's a dude. You can't help fall in love with him. It's a great film
best documentary in years
Whilst the synopsis says it is a hilarious adventure, that's true, but it is also one of the most moving and thought provoking documentaries I've seen in years. Were it not Martin's son narrating it would have been very uncomfortable and unethical, but it is and this is a deeply personal portrait of a man who is happy to push the boundaries of human potential to let us all see what is possible. Shame on you American talk shows! A beautiful film.
Fantastic
Loved it, I would highly recommend it. a must
