"I just think he's been misunderstood." In a way, Kent has captured the theme of his interlocutor's career. In Morris' acclaimed film documentaries, he has sought to understand the unfathomable--from a Holocaust denier who builds electric chairs to the work of physicist Stephen Hawking--a task he continues in this remarkable series of profiles in peculiarity...
