Tracking Down Maggie

About This Movie

Tracking Down Maggie is one of those documentaries that feels more like a wild ride than a straightforward interview piece. Nick Broomfield, with his unique approach, becomes both the filmmaker and the unwitting participant in this odd quest to interview Margaret Thatcher. The atmosphere is a mix of tension and dark humor, especially as Broomfield faces rejection after rejection. It's fascinating how the film captures the elusive nature of the 'Iron Lady' while also reflecting on the absurdities of political celebrity. The pacing is a bit erratic, which adds to the suspense. Practical effects are minimal, but the real charm lies in Broomfield's candid, almost clumsy persistence, which makes the film distinctive in its own right.
