MISTER ORGAN U.S. Trailer: The New Doc From TICKLED's David Farrier

Intrepid journalist and filmmaker David Farrier, whose previous film Tickled became a global sensation for exposing the dark underbelly of competitive endurance tickling, faces off against his greatest foe yet in MISTER ORGAN, an enthralling and bizarre tale that finds Farrier in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a mysterious con man who is wreaking havoc on his neighborhood.

Mister Organ is entertaining in the way the true crime documentary genre has blossomed in the past decade or two. It also captures the exhausting and petty banality of its main subject. A man who has left a trail of emotional (and fiscal) carnage in the wake of his narcissism.

 

Farrier's engaged curiosity, and self-deprecating obstinacy, becomes a kind of talisman in this battle against these bullies. His films are a ray of pale sunlight trying to disinfect the world for the rest of us, or at least offer us a silhouette, a concept, of what the rest of us should be vigilant.
