James Dean

Found footage from Rebel Without A Cause(1955)

In the 1950s, Tab Hunter was number one at the box office and number one on the music charts and was Hollywood’s most sought-after young star. Natalie Wood, Debbie Reynolds and Sophia Loren were just a few of the actresses he was romantically linked to. He was America’s Boy Next Door and nothing, it seemed, could damage Tab Hunter’s career. Nothing, that is, except for the fact that Tab Hunter was secretly gay. Now, the secret is out.

Although he'd starred in just three films before his untimely death at age 24, James Dean cast a long shadow that came to define cool. Using excerpts from Dean's personal diaries, found footage from screen and wardrobe tests and interviews with those who knew him best (including Dennis Hopper, Dick Van Patten, Graham Nash and Rod Steiger), this fascinating documentary explores the screen icon's lingering mystique.

The collar of his coat turned up in New York: Images which have collaborated on building a myth – the image of eternal and misunderstood youth. Unlike Marlon Brando, the proletarian rebel with identifiable goals, James Dean was the timeless and androgynous youthful rebel. His death on the Interstate 46 leads us back to 1950s America, a time when youth was re-interpreted all anew.

Uma breve carreira. Uma estrela imortal. Com apenas três papéis principais, James Dean se tornou um ícone para várias gerações. Agora, seu legado brilha ainda mais forte graças a este fascinante filme que, repleto de cenas nunca vistas de participações de Dean na televisão americana, mais parece um mapa que traça seu meteórico sucesso. Michael J. Sheridan dirige e Martin Sheen narra este revelador documentário exibido no Festival de Cinema de Cannes em 2005. Clipes de filmes, romances, fotos que fazem parte de um acervo histórico (e as estórias que se escondem por trás dele) e um pequeno trabalho que abriu o caminho para o cinema são coisas que os fãs não podiam ver até agora. Eternamente jovem. Infinitamente fascinante.
