Errol Morris\; documentary (103 min.)A groundbreaking and controversial film from renegade documentary filmmaker Morris\, whose films include Gates of Heaven\, A Brief History of Time\, and The Fog of War (which won the 2004 Oscar for Best Documen tary Feature). Here\, Morris investigates the murder of a Dallas police officer during a routine traffic stop ' weaving together interviews\, dr amatic re-creations of the crime\, and Philip Glass' hypnotic score to t ell a story with more sensationalized twists and turns than a dime novel . The significant aftermath of this film (for the criminal case\, and fo r the commercial viability of documentary films) is nearly as compelling as the film's subject matter.
