Confessions of a Superhero
Dir: Matthew Ogens
2007
****
Confessions of a Superhero is a unique and witty documentary that follows the paths of four Superhero lookalikes. Matthew Ogens quite cleverly shows the similarities that each person has to the Superhero they imitate, the obsessions and the pitfalls. Never are the people mocked though which I think would be a little too easy but does seem to happen quite often in these types of documentary. Christopher Lloyd Dennis doesn't just look and act like Superman, he lives his life like Superman and is an interesting case study as is his opposite, Maximus "Batman" Allen. Both are different in their approach, both are friends and both are like the real Batman and Superman. You couldn't make it up, I'd like a photo with these guys and I'd tip well too!
