Curiosità

American Dharma is a 2018 documentary film directed by Errol Morris. The film follows the career of political strategist Steve Bannon. The film was released on November 1, 2019, by Utopia.

Production

Errol Morris cites his desire to understand the United States 2016 Presidential Election, "So that we can try to make sure it doesn't happen again", as inspiration for the film. The decision to interview Steve Bannon specifically was brought on by the filmmaker's reading of Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury. In an interview with WBUR-FM, Morris says that Bannon "was flattered that I wanted to make a movie about him".

Morris interviewed Bannon for five days between February and April in Boston. The Quonset hut used as a set for the interview was constructed for American Dharma as a replica of the set in Twelve O'Clock High. The set was constructed on top of an abandoned airfield. Morris first heard about Bannon's love of Twelve O'Clock High in Joshua Green's Devil's Bargain.

Bannon was not dressed by the crew; it was his choice to wear three shirts on set. During the filming, Bannon was reading a book on the Great Wall of China.

15 to 16 hours of footage was recorded during the interviews. Cut footage from the film made use of Morris's interrotron device, which allows for both first person perspective and eye contact between the interviewer and the subject. Morris decided not to use the interrotron, "very late in the game".
