The Zen of Bobby V (2008)
Great, enjoyable, insightful documentary!!!
even though "zen" aired a while ago i feel compelled to comment on it because of undeserved negative comments. this film was extraordinary...as long as you can get past your personal biases. obviously this film isn't ken burns baseball set in japan. however i think the point of it was to capture what Bobby V has been doing in Japan the past five years. this film delivers on that and more. it's not only entertaining watching bobby, but who knew it could be so much fun to watch other people watch baseball. the Japanese fans are insane!!! The film had me from the moment bobby gives a team speech before a playoff game at the beginning of the film, which I read is unprecedented footage! Japanese media isn't allowed in Japanese clubhouses. so if you don't have some sort of beef with bobby or the filmmakers, chances are you'll enjoy this film.
