My wife threw me the surprise party of the century the other night. The highlight (actually, everything was a highlight) was this video she and our friend Mike made in honor of the big day. Couple backstory notes: My temple was Rodef Shalom, my neighborhood, Loch Lomond. Krazy.
It would be inappropriate and probably inaccurate for any critic to pronounce on the mental health of a filmmaker based on his movie. Yet no description of “Apocalypto” can even begin, much less be complete, without noting—say, in a colloquial, nonclinical, anecdotal sort of way—that it seems like something made by a crazy person.
Sounds like the average reaction of Malibu’s late night drivers.
