A chaotic ”let's make something about the Hobbit”. Fan interviews? Silly remarks about how New Zealand looks like Hobbitland. So it was not about the tax status for Jackson, but about Tolkien who never lived there.
There is hardly any material, so there are long breaks with soft music, people speaking slowly, and camera pans over boring exteriors.
