This acclaimed documentary character study, from filmmaker Errol Morris (THE THIN BLUE LINE) focuses on the disparate lives of four nonconformists whose respective arts reflect their unique personalities: a lion tamer, a robotics engineer, a topiary gardener, and a biologist obsessed with perfectly recreating the habitat of the naked mole rat. A delightful and humorous portrait, utilizing a mixed bag of camera styles. Winner of an Independent Spirit award and Best Documentary awards from the National Board of Review and the Society of Texas Film Critics. [More]

... an enthralling exploration of creativity, science, and imagination. Don't we all wish we could find as much fulfillment in our work as these guys do?

Morris's juggling act as ringmaster somehow lucidly connects everything and comes up with an entertaining, dazzling and profound film.
