Editorial Reviews

Barnes & Noble - Ed Hulse
This three-disc set compiles three early efforts by Errol Morris, one of cinema’s most gifted documentary storytellers. Fascinated by America’s unusual mixture of the bizarre and the banal, Morris at the outset of his filmmaking career trained his camera on people and places seldom covered by mainstream media outlets. In Gates of Heaven 1978, he visits a pet cemetery in Southern California and films bereaved owners who go to extraordinary and occasionally hilarious lengths to memorialize their beloved animals. Morris allows plenty of room for his subjects to drift off on various tangents, making for some of the film's most memorable scenes. Even better is Vernon, Florida 1981. Morris visited the titular town because it had the highest rate of insurance fraud involving dismemberment for profit -- but stayed when he found the residents to be some of the most genuinely quirky folks ever caught on film. There’s the zookeeper who “kick-starts” his turtles, the worm farmer upset that his prized, imported night crawlers have been lost to nearby swamps, an elderly couple who believe sand grows in a jar, and an obsessive but singularly ineffectual turkey hunter. Morris’s ongoing interest in the country’s less affluent, marginalized citizens veers into social commentary with The Thin Blue Line 1988, an impassioned look at a luckless hitchhiker sentenced to life in prison after being convicted -- wrongly, as it turned out -- of murdering a Texas police officer. A highly charged example of advocacy journalism, this award-winning film persuaded officials to reopen the case and eventually resulted in the prisoner’s exoneration. Morris is a master craftsman; he knows how to precisely assemble disparate pieces of film to create a compelling narrative and evoke the emotional response he’s aiming for. He is at turns fascinated and provocative, and his cinematic storytelling reflects singularly obsessive passion for his subjects, whether good, bad, or just plain peculiar.
