What’s Real Intelligence-about Ourselves & the World?.Being Important: What Does It Mean & What Mistakes Do We Make about It?.When the student revolution occurred in Paris in 1968, the graffiti in the streets read, “Je suis Marxiste, tendance Groucho,” – “I am a Marxist of the Groucho variety.” With that in mind, consider this film the Marxist manifesto. Indeed, even Curb, with Larry David’s insistence on saying the unsayable, has its roots in Groucho and the boys’ anarchic disrespect for any semblance of order. Weide, who has directed a compelling documentary about Allen in recent years and an abundance of Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes, clearly recognises that modern comedy, from Saturday Night Live to Monty Python, would have been unimaginable without the Marx Brothers. The Marx Brothers in a Nutshell, a passion project Bob Weide started working on at the age of 18 and completed four years later, illustrates the genius of Groucho and his siblings with its collection of highlights from their films accompanied by interview segments with collaborators and fans including Woody Allen, Robert Klein and David Steinberg. Iconic performers who changed entertainment beyond recognition, both are universally known by a single name, some indication of their beloved status. Groucho Marx passed away just a few days after Elvis Presley in August of 1977.
