Well-aimed material

INCIDENT AT LOCH NESS is an irresistable watch for any fans of movie auteur Werner Herzog. It's a found footage-style mockumentary about Herzog's attempt to shoot a documentary about the myths surrounding the Loch Ness Monster, but the whole thing is an elaborate set-up to explore the bizarre elements and constraints of the genre. The whole cast play themselves (Jeff Goldblum cameo included) and Herzog in particular is a delight as the quirky figure we all know and love. Most of the action is limited to a small boat floating in the loch, but nonetheless this is witty and insightful and very, very funny at times. I did find the latter stages a little bit too OTT - some more restraint would have been funnier, I feel - but overall this is well-aimed material.
