Errol Morris is a kind of cinematic detective. His documentary films like Fast, Cheap and Out of Control revolve around the profound strangeness of people. The first film I saw was Thin Blue Line and most recently the Fog of War (view a clip). One technique he employs in interviews is the Interrotron. This insightful four-minute audio essay explores some of the basic themes in his work. And here is a discussion of truth, history, photography. And in this video we learn about his life and approach to filmmaking. Don't miss his NY Times blog entries. Morris also does commercial work for companies like Apple and Miller. You can see much more of his work on his website.
