Al Pacino: The Reluctant Star
Self
Al Pacino is a mystery. He is fire and ice at the same time. His attraction is animalistic, his looks frightening. From the ghetto of the Bronx in New York he has made it onto the big stage – from Broadway to Hollywood. As Michael Corleone in "The Godfather" he celebrated his big breakthrough at the beginning of the 70s – against much resistance, because apart from director Francis Coppola himself nobody wants him for the role. His realistic acting became the measure of all things overnight.
Memórias de Salinger
Self - Writer
Após escrever a obra-prima “O Apanhador no Campo de Centeio”, J. D. Salinger decidiu não publicar mais livros. Este homem recluso sumiu dos holofotes, não deu notícias durante quarenta anos. O autor teria ficado particularmente perturbado pelo fato de três assassinos terem usado o seu livro como justificativa de seus crimes. O documentário tenta investigar os motivos de seu comportamento, e quais obras ele teria escrito durante o isolamento.
Embracing Chaos: Making The African Queen
Self
The epic story of how the film The African Queen (1951), directed by John Huston and starring Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn, was shot on real African locations, barely overcoming all kinds of hardships and disasters.
