  • Summary: In the early 1960’s, alongside Andy Warhol, the Kuchar brothers shaped the New York underground film scene. Known as the “8mm Mozarts”, their films were noticeably different than other underground films of the time. They were wildly funny, but also human and vulnerable. Their films have insve inspired many filmmakers, but despite having high profile fans, the Kuchars remain largely unknown because they are only ambitious to make movies, not to be famous. It Came From Kuchar interweaves the brothers’ lives, their admirers, a history of underground film and a “greatest hits” of Kuchar clips into a mesmerizing stream of consciousness tale.

    Most of all, though, it's a welcome, offbeat look at a couple of originals, something that's in woefully short supply.

    You don't have to have ever seen any of their movies to enjoy It Came From Kuchar, directed by one of George's former students, Jennifer M. Kroot. But you'll probably want to catch up with their work afterward.

    The documentary is interesting as a human story. And anyone who loves the Kuchar brothers' films or underground cinema in general will take extra pleasure in it.

    This is an affectionate portrait rather than a meaningful critical analysis.

    This is the entrance door to the quirky, excessive, marvelous world of the Kuchar brothers. Somewhat as the Maysels inspired many to document, the Kuchars are mentors to such figures as John Waters, Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. You'll mesmerize at their collaborations with Harry Crumb and Warhol. Yet the truly remarkable is their ongoing stamina and the continuous work with their alumni. Inspiring, truly.… Expand
