Crazy Love
2007
If you thought your last relationship was messed up, this one will take the cake. This doc, “Crazy Love” is the story of Linda Riss and New York City attorney Burt Pugach, and their severely f@#ked up relationship.
Back in 1959, Pugach began courting Riss, who was 10-years his junior, with a manic obsession that culminated in him hiring men to blind her with lye, leaving her with disfiguring scars and partially sighted in one eye.
He went to jail for 14 years, during which he and Riss remained in touch, and ended up marrying each other after his release. This film looks at the nature of their messed up relationship as a “right people, wrong time” versus a game of manipulation.
by the way, awesome list. all of these are amazing.
