This legendary actor made only one movie, but he was disappointed with the result

This is not exactly the discovery. Moving the film, behind the front and / or camera, is not always, far from it, a long quiet river. Experience can become extremely as it was for Apocalypse Now, whose Homer’s shooting tells the heart of darkness. Or by Fitzkaraldo Werner Duke and his conflict relations with Claus Kinsk.

If some of the talents of the cinema do not particularly express the style of the one -day style of the director’s hat, as well as numerous who end in realization sirens, envy and / or challenge.

The version signed by the sellers suffered a singular fate. The story is especially remembered that the actor / director, who was dissatisfied with his work, would remove all copies of circulation during the release of the film and destroy them …

Anyway, only one copy of the film is still known; It is precisely preserved in the archives of the British Institute of Cinema. We are not ready to see the result. Especially since the copy was designed only in extreme cases as part of the Independent Cardiff Film Festival festival …
