Summer Film Column: the hapless loser

In film, there are heroes and anti-heroes, protagonists and antagonists...and then there are people that are somewhere in between. And these in-betweeners, these loveable (or not-so-loveable) losers, seem to be populating a lot of documentaries lately. And it got our summer film columnists, Di and Tim, wondering just what might be their appeal.

Films mentioned by Di and Tim:

• Air Guitar Nation
• King of Kong
• Lost in La Mancha
• American Movie
• Overnight
