CRAZY LOVE
April 26th 2008 03:22
His charms worked to a point, but Burt wanted Linda’s hand in marriage. As their relationship progressed, however, the layers of lies that surrounded Burt’s life began to peel away and he soon revealed his other side, as his affections turned dangerously obsessive. When another man came onto the scene and courted Linda, Burt grew darkly jealous and became irrational, paranoid and violent.
Filmmaker Dan Klores co-directed Crazy Love with actor/producer (and soon to be Lost cast member) Fisher Stevens. Constructed using a wealth of photographs and archival footage, both Linda and Burt narrate their own stories, and it’s alternately shocking and hilarious. The aging Linda is direct, blunt and pragmatic but Burt seems oddly at ease with his erratic and strange deeds. Given the truly bizarre nature of their relationship, the less you know about their story, the more entertaining the ride is. Suffice to say, it’s a superb and thoroughly riveting tale of madness, obsession and undying devotion.
