Description:Among the most important documentaries ever made, The Thin Blue Line, by Errol Morris (Gates of Heaven), erases the border between art and activism. A work of meticulous journalism and gripping drama, it recounts the disturbing tale of Randall Adams, a drifter who was charged with the murder of a Dallas police officer and sent to death row, despite overwhelming evidence that he did not commit the crime. Incorporating stylized reenactments, penetrating interviews, and haunting original music by Philip Glass (Koyaanisqatsi), Morris uses cinema to build a case forensically while effortlessly entertaining his viewers. The Thin Blue Line effected real-world change, proving film's power beyond the shadow of a doubt.
The Thin Blue Line is a groundbreaking documentary film directed by acclaimed filmmaker Errol Morris and released in 1988. Presented here on DVD by Criterion, the film investigates the wrongful conviction of Randall Dale Adams for the murder of a Dallas police officer in 1976. Through meticulous interviews, reenactments, and an innovative narrative style, Morris exposes flaws in the justice system and questions the reliability of eyewitness testimony. The Thin Blue Line is widely credited with helping to exonerate Adams and has been hailed as one of the most influential documentaries ever made. Criterion is renowned for its dedication to preserving important classic and contemporary films from around the world. Their releases are celebrated for high-quality restorations, insightful bonus materials, and scholarly attention to detail?making them a favorite among cinephiles. Director Errol Morris is known for his unique approach to documentary filmmaking; his other notable works include "Gates of Heaven," "Fast, Cheap & Out of Control," "Mr. Death," and "The Fog of War" (which won him an Academy Award). Composer Philip Glass provided the haunting score that underscores much of The Thin Blue Line?s atmosphere; Glass himself is one of America?s most influential composers with scores for films such as ?Koyaanisqatsi? and ?The Hours.? Key interviewees featured in this film include David Harris?the actual perpetrator?and various law enforcement officials whose testimonies shaped public perception at trial.
