A forger among Mormons': the director of 'Napoleon Dynamite' presents the most mind-blowing true crime of the year on Netflix

 Yes, I know. We are saturated with documentaries about real crimes . The most incredible cases of recent humanity have found their niche on the platforms. No matter the place of origin, they always hook the viewer. ' A Forger Among Mormons ' is simply one of the best we've ever seen.

Angels, salamanders and murders

With a Spanish title that destroys the surprise of events quite a bit, 'Murder Among the Mormons' is a sensational Netflix documentary miniseries on the rugged issue of terrorist attacks in the most Mormon Utah of the eighties.

With the beastly allure of the time capsule that is Jazz City, the Mark Hofmann affair covered in depth, the tremendous importance of a church that doesn't really seem to matter to anyone outside of Salt Lake City and, Above all, to see Jared Hess (co-directing with Tyler Measom) involved in a much more personal task than anyone imagines, the three-episode Netflix miniseries is a must-see for all lovers of the format.

Hess, a practicing Mormon and surely the only one with a sense of humor powerful enough to sustain his brilliant career thanks to his knowledge of the subject, draws gold from a job that has actually haunted the director of 'Napoleon Dynamite' or the play for years. teacher ' Gentlemen Broncos ', who immersed himself for years in the compilation of all kinds of material on the case.

His research leaves an exciting True (Mormon) Crime in three parts that will drive you crazy and where those responsible are not shy when trying to approximate the tone to that of a past black comedy , as in the armed recreations of the central episode or in the bad grape of some testimonies.

In just under three hours, the Netflix documentary miniseries covers a horrifying and not-so-known moment in Utah history: the 1985 murder of two members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from Salt Lake City by someone from their own ranks. Mark Hofmann, a highly respected merchant of Mormon historical documents, was convicted of the murders, carried out with bombs targeting some of his associates. A complex story full of intricate twists and turns worthy of the best thriller script.

But even though the story was covered nationally and the pain remains for church members, little is remembered today. Especially outside your country of origin. With the rise of the format, Tyler Measom and Jared Hess decide to bring it back to global consciousness . And for this they have not cut themselves when it comes to using a bit of black humor in the formula, leaving this documentary in a totally unexpected way in the same orbit as Hess's filmography.

In fact, the most incredible thing about all this is that the filmmaker signed the sensational ' Don Verdean ' years ago , which has everything to do with this tricky, extremely uncomfortable, violent and, why not say, gloriously ridiculous matter at times with his angels , salamanders and Mormon underwear . Seen now the whole atmosphere that surrounds this matter, the revaluation of all the filmmaker's work seems brutal.
