Gates Of Heaven

This is one of those movies that was probably really revolutionary at the time but doesn't hold up quite as well. It's a documentary about pet semetaries. I think it's legacy is probably in that it helped open up the documentary genre to character studies, not just history pieces or rock concerts. Errol Morris, the director, tries to understand what drives people to spend an amazing amount of resources of their pet's after life. The plot is great, but the pacing is a little too slow and a lot of the story is told with talking head.
