Rated 22 Sep 2010

A close-up of an emoting face is a powerful image and this cinema verité short documentary makes great use of those when documenting fan culture. The portrait of Anka is good stuff as well, the interview recordings being partly of a fly-on-the-wall nature.

Rated 17 Aug 2012

A bit of a fluff piece, but it has some interesting candid moments with Anka, his manager and crazed teenage fans.
