We are pleased to announce The Cinema of Errol Morris, by 
David Resha.
 
First book on documentary cinema's most innovative and influential
director

The Cinema of Errol Morris offers close analyses of the director's
films-from box office successes like The Thin Blue Line and The Fog of
War to Morris's early works like Vernon, Florida and controversial
films like Standard Operating Procedure. Film scholar David Resha's
reappraisal of Morris's films allows us to rethink the traditional
distinction between stylistically conservative documentaries, which
are closely invested in evidence and reality, and stylistically
adventurous films, which artfully call to question such claims of
nonfiction and truth. According to Resha, Errol Morris does not fit

experiments with documentary conventions constitute another way to
investigate reality-in particular, to examine the ways in which his
