Director: Errol Morris
I've decided to give no rating to Gates of Heaven, because rating such a film is a silly exercise. Gates of Heaven is purportedly about pet cemeteries, but the film is about much more than that. It's a definite must-see for anyone who considers themselves a movie aficionado.
I'd seen Gates of Heaven before, and on the second viewing, it perhaps made less sense. This isn't to say that the movie is confusing, but Morris doesn't guide us along. There's no voice-over narration. He's not an investigator, like he is in many of his other documentaries. He's merely an observer. What he observes is so oddly fascinating that I can't begin to describe it.
