Gates of Heaven (1978)
Beautiful, Brilliant, Errol's Best.

Comparable to 2001: A Space Odyssey, Apocalypse Now, Bicycle Thieves, and Citizen Kane, in its cinematic brilliance. Touching and poignant, in its own subtle way. Don't look for something obvious to blow you away. Just watch it, embrace it, and feel it. And then you will wonder at it. The film is a documentary about two pet cemeteries, but reaches far beyond this in its scope. It is immensely thought provoking, and the best description possible is that it is a cross between a Norman Rockwell painting, and Phillip Glass song. Be sure to check out other Errol Morris titles. He is a genius.
