U.S., 2018
Directed by Bruce Weber
With Robert Mitchum, Polly Bergen, Benicio Del Toro, Johnny Depp, Clint Eastwood  
Approx. 90 min. DCP.

“Bruce Weber’s long-in-the-works portrait of classic Hollywood’s favorite antihero, Robert Mitchum. Shot mainly in gorgeously grainy black-and-white, the film consists of interviews with people who knew, worked with or admire Mitchum — including, besides family members, actors such as Johnny Depp, Liam Neeson and Benicio Del Toro — as well as previously unseen interview and B-roll footage that Weber shot with the star himself before he passed away in 1997. A cinematic valentine to one of the onscreen greats, this is a warm, jazzy homage to a much-celebrated but also very complicated man whose complexity nonetheless remains forever just out of reach.” – Boyd van Hoeij, The Hollywood Reporter
