‘VOYR’ REVIEW: NETFLIX’S DEVIANT GAY TALE DOC CAN’T DECI WHAT WANTS TO LOOK AT

“You n’t make this stuff up, ” Gay Tale says the begng of Voyr, the new documentary chroniclg the velopment of his book The Voyr’s Motel, which was excerpted as a ntroversial New Yorker article, and, as of Friday, is available on Netflix. In hdsight, some errors are glargly obv: There are some obv and damng genr dynamics at work here, between Gay and Nan and between Foos and his wife, Ana, but Kane and Koury do ltle to lve to the sexual polics that make Foos’s motel an enavor of masculy, and an credibly vlatg and disturbg one at that.

GAY TALE

The level of meta-storytellg they attempt to tell lv to all the most superficial rners, like watchg Tale’s dghter, an artist, pat Foos’s motel for her father’s book; Tale and Foos, when they first meet 2013, stay at a motel, se you didn’t know what they’re gettg at faiar wh Gay Tale’s brand of lerary journalism, which has bee a fg style, is likely faiar wh another pneer, Ja Mallm, who said this of her chosen genre, bgraphy: “The voyrism and bybodyism that impel wrers and rears of bgraphy alike are obscured by an apparat of scholarship signed to give the enterprise an appearance of bank-like blandns and solidy. The Netflix documentary explor the wrer Gay Tale’s odd relatnship wh his subject Gerald Foos, a peepg tom. He explas this to the directors of a new Netflix documentary butg Friday bee Foos has e to be that most ntradictory of begs: a voyr who wants to be ptur Foos’s public unverg at the hands of Gay Tale, the magaze wrer and New Journalism pneer who first met Foos 1980, and who fally published his story a 2016 New Yorker feature lled “The Voyr’s Motel, ” followed by a book of the same name.

Mid-media storm Voyr, Foos’s wife Ana star hantly at a py of The Denver Post on their driveway, as if aaid ’s gog to be Foos and Gay Tale are filmed on the former se of the Manor Hoe Motel Aurora, Colorado (Netflix)And both men ultimately suffer life-upendg sndal, as the mera ptur all. Gay Tale was perhaps the most notable of the group. Author and journalist Gay Tale (right) and Gerald Foos, the Colorado motel owner who for years spied on his guts, are the foc of the Netflix documentary Voyr.

There's a fascatg moment the new Netflix documentary Voyr when the filmmakers ask the protagonist, Gerald Foos — who allegedly spied on guts om the attic of the now-funct Manor Hoe Motel Aurora that he owned — whether he regretted tellg his story to renowned journalist Gay Tale, who published a New Yorker article, then book, about Foos 2016. That’s why I didn’t tell Gay [Tale] about , " Foos said.
