#documentary now!

Entertainment Weekly just named Documentary Now! as one of the 'The 25 best shows to watch on Netflix right now' (April 6, 2024) which lead me to this ranking on Consequence.net 'Every Episode of Documentary Now!, Ranked From Worst to Best' by Clint Worthington from November 9, 2022.

Alexander Skarsgård's 2 episodes 'Solider of Illusion' Parts I & II were ranked #5 by Clint:

It’s a Parody Of: Werner Herzog’s existential, surreal documentaries, most notably the Les Blank-directed Empire of Dreams, about the making of his historical epic Fitzcarraldo.  It would have been easy for Documentary Now! and writer John Mulaney to do a straightforward pastiche of Empire of Dreams, make Bill Hader do a hokey Werner Herzog impression, and call it a day. But what makes “Soldier of Illusion” so brilliant is the ways it dodges those expectations while building its own comic infrastructure one gut-busting brick at a time. Alexander Skarsgård’s Rainer Wolz isn’t quite doing a Herzog voice, but he captures that intensity, the precision, the dogged desire to put himself and others at risk for the sake of art. But John Mulaney’s script throws in the most surprising of monkey wrenches: He’s not only documenting the lives of an impoverished tribe of people in Russia, he’s simultaneously producing the pilot for a CBS sitcom called Bachelor Nanny. And of course, he directs a hokey three-camera farce with the same intensity as he would any of his hard-hitting meditations on life, right down to calling up his unstable ringer (August Diehl’s Dieter Diemler, nailing the volatility of Klaus Kinski). A masterclass in elevating the inside-baseball film nerd nature of the premise into something universally hilarious.

My edit of images of Alexander Skarsgård as Rainier/Rainer Wolz. Most are my screen caps, costume designer Claire Finlay Thompson still photographer Will Robson-Scott, and his IMDb page. It was inspired by the edit on Consequence.net.

Documentary Now! x “Solider of Illusion” (prod. Rhys Thomas & Alex Buono).

Scripted by comedian John Mulaney and starring Alexander Skarsgård as a very funny [Werner] Herzog analogue, “Rainer Wolz”, as both a young and old man, the big ridiculous satirical twist is the supposed documentation of filming not some sort of awards-y dramatic film but a very hokey three-camera 1980s CBS sitcom pilot called “Bachelor Nanny” [...] filmed for absolutely no reason high up on a remote and very dangerous wilderness mountaintop village somewhere in Siberia in the company of an Indigenous tribe.
