When it came to deciding on paper topics, I knew I wanted to write about O'Rourke and his special methods, because I was especially fascinated by the man and his unique methods. I think, it is very interesting to get to know something about O'Rourke's life fist and how and when the development from a celebrated 'mainstream' filmmaker to a much criticized experimental filmmaker took place.

I hope this will shed some light on the question, whether O'Rourke's film is as revolutionary as he puts it or if it is fashionable to provoke and agitate the viewers in the documentary genre in general.
