Rondo and Bob

Robert A. Burns, art director on the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre, was obsessed with actor Rondo Hatton aka the Creeper. Burns was average looking but brimming with odd creativity. Hatton, who suffered from acromegaly, had a strangely unique appearance, but was a regular guy. In Rondo and Bob their two stories intersect.

My take

A meditative deep-dive into two outsiders whose lives and art collided in unexpected ways. This is the kind of doc that reveals beauty in the overlooked—perfect for when you want cinema that treats its subjects with genuine curiosity and respect.
