Waiting for Ishtar

About This Movie

So, 'Waiting for Ishtar' is this quirky little documentary that really digs into what makes us love our guilty pleasures. It starts off with a simple chat about why we cling to certain films, and then it takes this twisty turn into one guy's personal quest as he searches for others who are also on the waiting list for a library copy of 'Ishtar'. It’s kind of fascinating really, how it juxtaposes his journey with the backdrop of 'Ishtar'—that infamous Hollywood bomb. The pacing ebbs and flows, keeping you engaged without feeling rushed. There's a nice blend of humor and introspection, plus it's cool to see reactions from fans and critics alike. A rare glimpse at a film that’s often written off, yet holds a peculiar charm.
