Original Title:

Listen To Me Marlon

This singular documentary is narrated by its own subject, a real coup for Stevan Riley (Fire In Babylon), who obtained exclusive access to the private tapes Marlon Brando recorded for decades. It’s a must for anyone interested in acting for the ‘notes to self’ Brando made about specific roles and films (“Everybody feels they could have been a contender”). Abundant clips (and an unnerving, digitally duplicated Brando) accompany his memories, insights on fame and rambling self-analysis. There is delight and distress in equal measure: for his talent, mischief, waywardness, for the disillusionment and tragedy of his later years. Unique.
