Museum of the Moving Image - Bartos Screening Room

With Penny Lane in person

Dir. Penny Lane. 2016, 79 mins. Digital projection. Preceded by Kitsch Is a Beautiful Lie (2004, 2 mins.), Just Add Water: The Story of the Amazing Live Sea Monkeys (2011, 16 mins.). Released in the Spring of 2016, when the unlikely election of real-estate mogul Donald Trump was just an ominous threat, Nuts! is an inventive mostly animated documentary about legendary huckster Dr. John Romulus Brinkley, who rose to untold fame and wealth in Depression-era America by selling a cure for male impotence made from goat testicles. As Lane unravels this fascinating story, she entertains us while revealing the disturbingly powerful role of salesmanship in our culture and our politics.
