Perhaps no filmmaker has shaped the art of contemporary documentary storytelling more than Errol Morris, a director-detective whose portraits of everyday oddballs and cultural icons alike are investigations into the human condition and the elusive nature of truth. Establishing his offbeat vision immediately with his first two documentaries GATES OF HEAVEN and VERNON, FLORIDA—wry and loving looks at all-American eccentricity—he went on to redefine the possibilities of nonfiction filmmaking (and free a man from death row) with THE THIN BLUE LINE, a gripping account of miscarried justice told with the verve of a film noir. Since then, Morris has continued to tackle stories both big (the Oscar-winning THE FOG OF WAR) and charmingly small (FAST, CHEAP & OUT OF CONTROL), bringing the same idiosyncratic perspective and philosophical insight to whatever subject piques his ever-restless curiosity.
