On Saturday, August 2nd at 6pm sharp, The Bakery Atlanta presents The Best of Me from filmmaker Heather Landsman. Comprising solely of crime scene photos, reports, and personal video diary entries, this archival documentary chronicles the final days in the life of Ricardo López in 1996 as he mails a bomb to Icelandic singer Björk.
“In 1993, while living in suburban Atlanta and working as an exterminator, a young and alienated Ricardo López began his all-consuming fixation with the Icelandic experimental pop musician Björk. What would transpire over the next three years would lead to hundreds of diary entries, dozens of hours of home video footage, an assassination plot, and the eventual violent death of Ricardo López by his own hand.”
— David Williams, Spectacle Theater
