“What is wrong with you?” a TV host asks Anthony Weiner in a key moment of his campaign to become the Mayor of New York City. At this turning point, Weiner, shot all by himself in a New York studio from where he appears in a Washington, DC-hosted show, gestures wildly towards empty air and smiles as his last political hope goes down in sordid tabloid flames. One of the most captivating campaign documentaries ever made, Weiner has incredible access to a fascinating conflagration created by unbridled ambition, narcissism, sexual compulsion, and the misguided faith of political aristocracy in their ability to manipulate the media – all against the fascinating, friendly yet unforgiving backdrop of the Big Apple.
