Everyone knows Peter Bogdanovich for his encyclopedic knowledge of the history of American film. The thousand stories man was friends with some of the most important filmmakers of the XXth century, Orson Welles, Howards Hawks, Raoul Walsh, etc., and interviewed hundreds of directors and actors. But the movie lover is also a director. Special mention: The Last Picture Show and Paper Moon. In this interview, he tells the story of his life as a director, reviews his films, their making, how studio choices and films were produced, and his approach as a craftsman, and also fun anecdotes about declining The Getaway, The Godfather or The Exorcist…
This long interview, 160 minutes, is a chance to listen to someone who spent so many hours listening to the others and to hear his take on the making of a film, the choice of a script, without compromise. He tells the happiest times of his life as well as the saddest after the murder of Dorothy Stratten, actress and playmate he hired in They All Laughed and with whom he fell madly in love. A video that everyone will appreciate and that should motivate all movie lovers to watching his films, his documentaries, especially the extraordinary This is Orson Wells, and to reading his books.
