Fast, Cheap and Out of Control

The Detroit Film Theatre presents Errol Morris' (Gates of Heaven, The Thin
Blue Line) new film, an examination of the seemingly unrelated occupations of
four obsessively motivated people. This is a witty, thrilling look at every individ-
ual's need to make his mark in a chaotic universe. Newsweek calls Morris, who is
Jewish, "an obsessive, cerebral, cosmically ironic filmmaker." Fast, Cheap and
Out of Control also plays 4, 7 and 9:30 p.m. Saturday and 4 and 7 p.m. Sunday.
Detroit Institute of Arts, 5200 Woodward, Detroit. $5.50. (313) 833-2323.
