What is the truth? Is it how society perceives itself? Whatever the answer, one way filmmakers challenge the concept of truth and comment on current events is by creating mocumentaries. This hard-to-define genre has been around for a long time and has become a peculiar although widely adopted) addition to filmmaking.<\/p>\n

But how do people define this mercurial but popular genre? Mockumentaries challenge the authenticity of reality. It takes on a certain aspect of life and twists the truth just enough to where it represents reality but is actually entirely fictional. Probably the most well-known mockumentaries are Christopher Guest\u2019s \u201cThis Is Spinal Tap\u201d and the TV show \u201cThe office.\u201d Satire is a common thread among mockumentaries, but it isn\u2019t a defining requirement. The only established trait of this genre is that the end product has to resemble a real documentary format. That means one camera, the actors often breaking the fourth wall, and sometimes a narrator.<\/p>\n

So here are five of the best must-see mockumentaries to watch on your next cozy night in.<\/p>\n

1. Zelig (1983)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Woody Allen was one of the early adopters of this genre, and \u201cZelig\u201d is still one of his most beloved creations to this day. In it, he plays a chameleon-like man named Zelig<\/a> who can take on the appearance and personality of anyone he meets. Dr. Eudora Fletcher notices this remarkable skill and tries to study him.<\/p>\n

2. Man Bites Dog (1992)<\/strong><\/p>\n

A charismatic serial killer named Ben lets a film crew follow him around in this horrifyingly dark comedy. As the camera crew watches on, he goes through multiple killings and talks about his crude philosophies. It\u2019s a twisted look into humanity\u2019s fascination with violence and how the media is duplicitous in it.<\/p>\n

3. Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999)<\/strong><\/p>\n

This movie was a flop during its initial release. Now a cult classic<\/a>, it takes place in Mount Rose, Minnesota where some girls are competing to win a beauty pageant. The sharp comedic satire and the arbitrary nature of success in this film didn\u2019t originally take with audiences of the time. Today, however, it\u2019s a much sought-after mockumentary that pokes fun at the beauty industry.<\/p>\n

4. Death of a President (2006)<\/strong><\/p>\n

A highly controversial title, the creators behind The Death of a President posed the question: \u201cWhat would happen if George W. Bush had been assassinated while he was still president?\u201d. The fictional assassination takes place in Chicago in 2007, after which Vice President Dick Cheney (at the time) becomes president. The film posed as a future history docudrama that looked at what far-reaching consequences his death would have had. Including the impact on civil liberties and foreign policy.<\/p>\n

5. What We Do in the Shadows (2014)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an interesting look at the life of vampires (were they to exist). It was produced in New Zealand by Taika Waititi (director of \u201cThor: Ragnarok\u201d) and Jemaine Clement. It takes place in present-day Wellington where a documentary crew follows around a group of vampires who all share a house. They avoid the sunlight and have assistants who run errands for them. As much as it\u2019s a mockumentary, it is a brilliant comedy as well, so you\u2019re sure to have a good laugh watching it.<\/p>\n

Struggling to Find That Mockumentary?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Due to their often controversial nature, mockumentaries aren\u2019t always available everywhere. Some countries block content based on their shock value, and this is definitely the case with a couple of the documentaries listed here. Others aren\u2019t yet available outside the countries they were created in. Most mockumentaries don\u2019t make it to the big screen, so they\u2019re not always distributed everywhere. Sometimes it also takes a lot longer for distribution to happen due to limited funding. And finally, some, like number 3 on the list above, are just too obscure to find everywhere.<\/p>\n

Either way, getting hold of a particular mockumentary can be a challenge. Getting a VPN is one solution to this issue. As it allows a person to access content from any country<\/a> or website \u2013 even blocked ones. Anyone who\u2019s considering buying a VPN should make sure that they get one with plenty of servers and reasonable subscription prices.<\/p>\n

The Bottom Line<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are a plethora mockumentaries out there, even if people don\u2019t realize it. The genre has become such an intrinsic part of the film industry that there are a lot of options to choose from. In fact, most people have probably watched at least one mockumentary in their lives. Now, you can go and give these a try too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
