An intimate and revelatory conversation from 1970 between two film giants, Dennis Hopper, then riding high on the massive success of EASY RIDER (1969), and Orson Welles, ever the iconoclast and an offscreen interviewer of probing authority. Both had emerged from notoriety to change the face of cinema.
In 1970, filmmaker Luchino Visconti travelled throughout Europe looking for a boy who could personify absolute beauty for his film adaptation of Thomas Mann’s DEATH IN VENICE. In Stockholm, he discovered Björn Andrésen, a shy 15-year-old teenager whom he brought to international fame. This documentary returns to Anderson, 50 years later.
Roberto Rossellini, Italian neorealism’s legendary film director, was the head of a large family now dispersed across the globe.
