Martin Scorsese directs and narrates this look at director Elia Kazan. From his triumphs with films such as On the Waterfront to his controversial naming of names during the McCarthy hearings, Kazan is shown in all his complexity. (texte officiel du distributeur)
Critiques (1)
A love letter that only an incurable cinephile could compose. Written in a similar style as Il mio viaggio in Italia. Long clips from films (particularly On the Waterfront and East of Eden). With commentary from Scorsese, a filmmaker who is knowledgeable enough to elevate personal impressions above objective facts, thus not omitting the controversial – “informant” – chapter of Kazan’s life. However, this touching cinematic giving of thanks is not intended to be a biographical portrait.
