From the autistic professor who designs slaughter houses ("Stairway to Heaven") to an invertebrate zoologist obsessed with locating a giant squid ("Eyeball to Eyeball"), each of the interviewees is uniquely fascinating.

Errol Morris turns his attention to a morbid yet tragic figure in this provocative documentary. The subject is Fred Leuchter, Jr., a self-taught execution specialist who became a leading capital punishment consultant to prisons across the country. Leuchter claims his mission is to make executions more humane, but his own humanity is questioned after he is hired to find evidence to assist the defense of a Holocaust denier involved in a controversial trial. "Using archly staged interviews and reconstructions that draw attention to the components of the documentary form, Morris does justice to the complexity of hot-button issues by suggesting several layers of subtext at once" (Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader). Errol Morris---USA---1999---92 mins.

Though there was a massive stir after images first leaked of terror suspects being abused and tortured by US Army guards at Abu Ghraib prison back in 2003, Oscar-winning documentarian Errol Morris wants to make sure no one forgets it. Or more importantly, who's to blame. Landing interviews with the American MPs who were charged in the scandal, the resounding message of Standard Operating Procedure is that superiors with purposefully vague orders are more culpable than the misguided scapegoats who were actually indicted. "Disturbing, analytical and morose" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times). Winner of the Silver Berlin Bear Jury Grand Prix at the 2008 Berlin Film Errol Morris---USA---2008---116 mins.
