PARK CITY, UTAH Jan. 30 (UPI) -- The History of Concrete, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, is a clever and amusing documentary about concrete and everything it touches. John Wilson essentially made a feature length episode of his HBO show How To with John Wilson.
It begins when Wilson looks for a new project. During the WGA strike he attends a seminar on writing Hallmark movies.
The Hallmark movie he watches for research is 'Twas the Date Before Christmas. Since the plot deals with affordable housing, it leads him to think about his own home he rents and his attempt at concrete foundation repair.
That roundabout path is how Wilson approaches everything. Wherever Wilson goes, he finds the most absurd aspect and includes it whether it's concrete-related or not.
Wilson's irreverent style leads him to film the funniest, most random images like Butts Real Estate. Visiting concrete structures in Rome, he also visits a wax museum that makes its statues talk with A.I. voices that hilariously sound nothing like them and mispronounce English words.
