    In The Unknown Known Academy Award-winning director Errol Morris offers a mesmerizing portrait of Donald Rumsfeld the larger-than-life figure who served as George W. Bush's secretary of defence and as the principal architect of the Iraq War. Rather than conducting a conventional interview Morris has Rumsfeld perform and explain his 'snowflakes' - the enormous archive of memos he wrote across almost fifty years in Congress the White House in business and twice at the Pentagon. The memos provide a window into history - not as it actually happened but as Rumsfeld wants us to see it. By focusing on the 'snowflakes ' with their conundrums and their contradictions Morris takes us where few have ever been - beyond the web of words into the unfamiliar terrain of Rumsfeld's mind. The Unknown Known presents history from the inside out. It shows how the ideas the fears and the certainties of one man written out on paper transformed America changed the course of history - and led to war.

    Academy Award-winner Errol Morris' Tabloid follows the much stranger-than-fiction adventures of Joyce McKinney, a former beauty queen whose single-minded devotion to the man of her dreams leads her across the globe and directly onto the front pages of the British tabloid newspapers. Joyce's crusade for love and personal vindication, as illustrated by Morris, takes her through a surreal world of gunpoint abduction, manacled Mormons, oddball accomplices, bondage modelling, magic underwear and dreams of celestial unions. This notorious affair is barking mad.Equal parts love story, film noir, brainy B-movie and demented fairy tale, Tabloid is a delirious meditation on hysteria - both public and personal - from a filmmaker who continues to break down and blow open the documentary genre with his

  • The Thin Blue Line [1988]The Thin Blue Line | DVD | (07/01/2008) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

    Errol Morris's unique documentary dramatically re-enacts the crime scene and investigation of a police officer's murder in Dallas. A drifter Randall Adams ran out of gas in Texas and was picked up by a 16-year-old runaway David Harris. Later that night they drank some beer smoked some marijuana and went to the movies. Then their stories diverge. Adams claims that he left for his motel where he was staying with his brother and went to sleep. Harris however says that they were stopped by police late that night and Adams suddenly shot the officer approaching their car. The film shows the evidence gathered by the police who were under extreme pressure to clear the case. It strongly makes a point that the circumstantial evidence was very flimsy. In fact it becomes apparent that Harris was a much more likely suspect and was in the middle of a 'crime spree ' eventually ending up on Death Row himself for the later commission of other crimes. Morris implies that the D.A.'s and judge's desire for the death penalty in this case (which Harris would have been ineligible for due to his youth) made Adams a scapegoat on which to pin this heinous crime.
