Louis and the Nazis
Louis Theroux is best known for his awe inspiring deadpan delivery of intense questions in his interviews, whilst remaining completely cool, calm and collected. This documentary is no different and delivered on just that. The subject of this documentary is evidently so far removed from
Popular 21st century western ideology that it is extremely hard for Theroux to remain calm, he even snaps at a couple of points, while never raising his voice it is clear that he’s in distress. The key to a good documentary is to be as close to the action as humanely possible, you are a fly on the wall, or in this case, a fly that can gage responses. Theroux delivers and gets as close to the subject as possible, in his house, following him around as he undergoes his daily life. It is this closeness that really brings a modern western audience into the eyes of a man who is far removed. Theroux delivers on a swift embodiment of a strategic approach into the mind of a monster.
