Tabloid


The infamous 1970s "Mormon Sex In Chains" case is examined in this Errol Morris documentary. Simply shot in mid close up and consisting primarily of interviews and cut-up-newspaper-like graphics; Tabloid is lurid, manipulative, and nearly impossible to look away from. As the story unfolded, I found my jaw dropping just a little bit more. Tabloid is funny, entertaining and often unbelievable, and to spill more about it would ruin the fun. Here's a trailer anyway.
