If you never thought a paparazzi could ever achieve icon status, well this documentary will prove you wrong—a portrait of the over the top character of Ron Galella, tailor-made for the job. Winner of the Directing Award at the Sundance Film Festival, this is a fun ride through the world of stardom.
