Kuchar's films Hold Me While I'm Naked and The Inmate seemed to be an experimental documentary version of a Woody Allen narrative. A comical, self-narrated story that related to a possible interpretation of what seemed to be real events in George Kuchar's life.
The narration offered a sense of comedy to the film that seemed personal, almost like an old version of the modern web blog video or youtube video. Except in Kuchar's case, the narrative was far more experimental, forcing a sense of curiosity on the viewer. This idea of a more conceptual youtube.com video is strengthened in Kuchars prolific film making career, as he has numerous shorts on similar subjects and lengths.
One can only wonder how related the actual life of George Kuchar is to his films/videos. Does he really have a friend thats travelled the globe, but still visits with him in Oklahoma? Is Kuchar really an obsessive pervert when it comes to nudity in his films, or does he have a more artistic expression on the subject that is not as easily understood by his friends, cast, and crew?
