Rated: R
Taxi to the Dark Side, this year’s Oscar-winning documentary film, establishes Alex Gibney as one of the foremost nonfiction filmmakers working today. A stunning inquiry into the death of an Afghani taxi driver at Bagram air base in 2002, the film is a fastidiously assembled, uncommonly well-researched examination, intermingling documents and records of the incident with candid testimony from eyewitnesses and participants. Winner of the Documentary Screenplay Award at the 2008 Writers Guild of America. May 14–17 screening room. 106 mins.
