The Myth Of Kurt cobain quotes Marlon Brando Forms The Centerpiece Of 'Listen To Me Marlon'
The year of late-celebrity documentaries continues, with Marlon Brando joining the ranks of Kurt Cobain, Nina Simone, Amy Winehouse and Chris Farley. "Listen to Me Marlon" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, and it opens in limited release on Wednesday. Told exclusively through Brando's own words via home recordings, interviews, acting studies, film clips and self-hypnosis tapes, the doc contains no talking heads or narration. As a result, rather than use secondary sources to define the myth of why America's most celebrated actor became a recluse and rejected Hollywood, "Listen to Me Marlon" channels Brando's psyche by way of his most intimate reflections. The Huffington Post sat down with the film's director, Stevan Riley ("Fire in Babylon"), for a wide-ranging discussion about Brando's archives and to what degree fame destroyed the actor's resolve.
Clearly the movie hinges on the access to these recordings, but would you have considered making the movie had the estate not backed it? Many documentaries don't have that luxury.
