Documentarian Errol Morris connects with the erstwhile Trump strategist for a feature-length one-on-one sitdown.
Sunday afternoon at the Toronto International Film Festival saw the North American premiere of Errol Morris’ documentary “American Dharma” — which is essentially an extended interview with controversial political advisor Steve Bannon.
A considerable amount of the talk, surprising even given the fact that Bannon worked for years in Hollywood, has to do with the movies, specifically a handful of Bannon’s favorites which he is only too happy to wax enthusiastically about to Morris. Say what you will about the man, he does have classic taste, with films like John Ford westerns “The Searchers” and “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” sharing screen time with Stanley Kubrick’s anti-war drama “Paths of Glory” as well as Bannon’s favorite film, the Gregory Peck-starring 1949 “Twelve O’Clock High.”
Peck plays a World War II Air Force general who has to be tough in order to make his men as good as they can be. It’s not that he wants to be that way, Bannon says, “he understands that it’s his dharma,” a Buddhist term that he defines as “duty, fate, destiny.
“This can’t be a pillow fight,” Bannon says dramatically before characterizing Trump as “a blunt force instrument” and “an armor-piercing shell,” terms he intends as the highest of praise.
