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.
