NUTS! by Penny Lane / US / 79 min / 2016 / PG13Inventive and wildly fun, NUTS! recounts the mostly-true story of John Romulus Brinkley, an American who touted a cure for impotence that involved transplanting goat testicles into men. From there, the story only gets more bizarre. Mixing hand-drawn animated re-enactments, interviews, and archival footage, NUTS! traces Brinkley’s rise from poverty and obscurity to the heights of celebrity, wealth, and influence.
