Errol Morris is our greatest living documentary filmmaker, and this
may be his greatest film. Cross-cutting between four subjects, Morris
explores the constantly twisting nature of life as his interviewees
attempt to tame and control it. One man builds robots, another studies
naked mole rats, a third is a lion tamer and the fourth is a topiary
gardener. Morris' attractive, unusual cinematography and cutting, plus
his inspired use of stock footage, give his movies a personal vision
that few other documentarians ever reach. The disc comes with trailers.
