Errol Morris

This is a personal, revealing, and occasionally irreverent collection of interviews with one of the world's most influential, and highly respected documentary filmmakers. "Errol Morris: Interviews" is an irreverent and humorous collection of conversations with the acclaimed documentary filmmaker. Morris (b. 1948) has created some of America's most innovative, lasting cinematic works. Generations of filmmakers, scholars, cinephiles, and film fans turn again and again to such works as "The Thin Blue Line"; "Fast, Cheap and Out of Control"; Academy Award-winner "The Fog of War"; and "Standard Operating Procedure". Throughout his career - which has included stints as a private eye, film programmer, and commercial director - Morris has honed a unique formal and technical cinematic approach. His films are characterized by intense personal interviews; dramatic re-creations; a haunting, modernist musical atmosphere; and a keen sense of complexity, irony, and black humour. With each new film, Morris strives to challenge and redefine what a documentary can be. This volume features interviews from throughout his career, as well as intimate, never-before-published discussions.
