Its three years since Marlon Brando said goodbye to this world, but he is still considered the yardstick to which actors are measured. Brando, a new documentary about the legendary actor tries to show this very fact.
“Brando” is created by producer Leslie Greif along with writer Mimi Freedman. It was premiered at New York’s Tribeca Film Festival on Thursday.
A well-crafted documentary that succeeds in portraying the actor’s life which is highlighted by enormous success in the fifties with his early films like A Streetcar Named Desire, On the Waterfront and The Men, followed by a vast decline in his career graph due to his involvement in political activism in favor of civil rights and Native Americans, which again soared sky-high with his amazing performance in films like The Godfather, Last Tango in Paris and Apocalypse Now.
The 2-hour 45-minutes documentary brings out Brando’s icon status in the form of reactions of the 54 celebrities, childhood friends and relatives that were interviewed.
Marlon Brando is a phenomenon, an icon and undoubtedly the greatest actor of 20th century.
Dont forget to watch the documentary which will be aired in two parts on Turner Classic Movies May 1-2.
