Provocative German movie-maker Uwe Boll, infamous for trashy big-screen adaptations of video game franchises, is the subject of a new documentary titled Fuck You all: The Uwe Boll Story.
The documentary explores Boll’s life and career through interviews with the people he’s directed or affected and generally pissed off along the way, as well as interviews with the man himself – and he’s lost none of his sparkle let me tell you.
Boll, now retired, has had a somewhat remarkable career. Despite falling out with actors and studios he found a way to independently produce film after film, adapting video game franchises such as Alone in the Dark, Far Cry, House of the Dead, Dungeon Siege, BloodRayne and Postal for the big screen. More remarkably still, Boll managed to attract star-grade talent to his side – actors like Ben Kingsley, Christian Slater, Jason Statham, Ray Liotta, Michael Madsen, Ron Perlman, even Burt Reynolds. I wonder how many of them have framed posters of his films on their walls to remember their roles.
