" Boy meets girl. Boy loses girl. Boy has lye thrown in girl&amp;#039;s face, blinding her for life, and goes to prison for 14 years. Boy gets paroled and marries girl. It&amp;#039;s a familiar yarn -- either the plot of one of Nicholas Sparks&amp;#039;s early, PCP-fueled novels or the true story of Burt and Linda Pugach, as told in Crazy Love (June 1), an engrossing new documentary by Fisher Stevens and Esquire publicist Dan Klores that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. With the cooperation of the Pugaches, who come across like most bickering old couples (minus the lye-throwing part), the documentary weaves a complex story of obsession, forgiveness, and indefatigable loyalty, even when Burt makes news again years later for allegedly threatening to kill his mistress. Ultimately, Crazy Love proves either the redemptive power of love or the breadth of its destructive potential -- the idea that, if the worst thing your soul mate ever does to you is douse you in lye, you should feel pretty lucky. Because, hey, relationships are complicated. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
