Better Go Mad In The Wild’ review: Miro Remo’s Crystal Globe winner gets up close and personal with a pair of eccentric Czech twins – Karlovy Vary Film Festival
The shadow of the Maysles brothers looms large over the surprise winner of the 59 th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, a documentary that can’t help but summon up the spirit of the duo’s 1975 masterpiece Grey Gardens.
