...movie looks less "mockumentary" than cinema verite. Egged on by O'Brien, a Democrat, Tuttle entered the G.O.P. primary for the Senate against businessman Jack McMullen in July. McMullen has law and business degrees from Harvard; Tuttle dropped out in the 10th grade. McMullen, a millionaire, spent $475,000, including $227,000 of his own money. Tuttle lives on Social Security and spent $200, mostly for Porta-Potti's at his nickel-a-plate "FredFest" fund raiser. McMullen ran ads and crisscrossed the state. Tuttle sat on his porch nursing his bum knee, venturing out for debates only...

What he's saying in this marvelously dry, sly movie...

Redford had a fine, leathery hand in all that too. In '85 some 50 independent films were made; last year there were 700. They earned $735 million at the U.S. box office, nearly triple the gross in 1992. Redford's festival created an aura that welcomed young directors and persuaded Hollywood to do the same. Says indie producer John Pierson: "Sundance totally dominates the independent landscape...
