Cinematheque: Errol Morris

Errol Morris was inspired to start his first non-fiction feature film after reading the 1978 San Francisco Chronicle headline, “450 Dead Pets Go To Napa.” The result is a story of two California pet cemeteries transformed into an eccentric portrait of the American dream. “A masterpiece” and “one of the ten best movies of all time” (Roger Ebert). Preceded by the Les Blank film, “Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe,” and commercials from the Citibank campaign.
