I'm Sean Fantasy and this is the big picture, a conversation show with Errol Morris.

The legendary documentary has a new film premiering on November 27 on Showtime called My Psychedelic

Love Story.

I last spoke to Errol Morris in 2017 about his hybrid documentary narrative series Wormwood,

it was a fascinating conversation.

Since then, he has made a controversial film about Steve Bannon called American Dharma.

He participated in a documentary series on FX that was a quasi adaptation of his book

A Wilderness of Error, this chronicle the violent crimes and subsequent decades of legal

proceedings in the Jeffrey McDonald murder case.

And now this new film, which focuses on Joanna Harcourt Smith, a quote, flower-powered teenager

in the 60s who lived with the Rolling Stones in France, partied with Salvador Dali, and

eventually became the common law wife of famed psychologist and a fervent advocate for psychedelic

drugs, Timothy Leary.

Morris's movie feels of a peace with the fog of war, his masterpiece portrait of former

secretary of defense, Robert McNamara, and the known unknown, a companion movie from 2014

that zeros in on Donald Rumsfeld, who also held that same job about a half century later.

Morris is one of the smartest and funniest chroniclers of our lives and our culture, and I

really love his movies.

If you're new to his work, I recommend starting with the Thin Blue line, which briefly comes

up in our chat here, and then you can bounce around from there from fast, cheap and

out of control to Mr. Death, to Gates of Heaven.

You really can't miss with any of his movies.
