Refusal to Oscar, however, this is one of the ten documentaries to see in his life

If it is naturally different in the form of fictional artwork, the emotional field opened by the documentary can be an absolutely devastating force. Because it echoes subjects of intimate, questions that are deeply found and asking us about the world’s relationship, with others and lives. Sometimes, fiction and a real blend to transmit memorable works of happiness. This is the case of Adams file produced by Errol Morris.

He graduated from the history of Princeton, Berkeley and Wisconsin’s universities (decisive training in terms of research and investigation that he will use throughout his career), completing Errol Morris in 1988, after two documentary films, his 3rd film folders.

In 1985, Morris became interested in the famous Dr. James Grigson, nicknamed “Dr. Death”. The latter was a legislative psychiatrist in the state of Texas and testified to 167 capital trials, almost all of which were sentenced to death.

The death penalty in Texas may only be expressed if a mental examination claims that the accused is likely to commit more violent offenses in the future unless he or she dies. Grigson has no doubt that this is the case of 36 -year -old Randal Dale Adams, who is killed in a police officer in 1977. The filmmaker, who is convinced of Adam’s innocence as well as for the investigator’s private detective agency, is launching a film. ..

Work in historical abilities

A mix of interviews (including one real offender who places the accused and practically acknowledged his crime) and reconstructions that distinguish an excellent hypnotic BO signed by Philip Glass, Adams’ file is a historical scale work: The death penalty for the release of the prisoner. This means the meaning of the work.

Ironically, the Oscar Academy refused to compete with Adams’ file in the 1989 best documentary category on the grounds that the reconstruction scenes were thus made a fictional film.

Fifteen years later, the documentary received the ideal offender signed by Jean-Xavier de Lestrad Florida.

Because of our calamity, Adams’ file has never had a DVD publication with us; Even less Blu-ray. Let’s make a desire that the publisher is soon working on the matter.
