The Man Who Couldn't Stop Putting Things in Bins (2013)

"The ultimate minimalist? Or a man with a severe psychological disorder? This documentary aims to find out..."

This satirical take on the shock-doc genre, examines some 'mental' mental conditions. Establishing a new type of genre, this 'odd doc' (and deadpan comedy) charts the struggles of a young couple dealing with a rare problem that threatens their relationship. Charlie, can't stop binning everything in sight - it might not be so bad if it stuff needing throwing out; unfortunately: remote controls, phones, unpaid bills, pets...The list grows longer and his partners patience shorter. Charlie and Jess then begin various strategies to help them cope. But will it be enough...
