Plots(1)

The legendary Dennis Hopper (1936-2010) returns in the reminiscences of his film industry friends: Wim Wenders, Isabella Rossellini, Diane Kruger, Michael Madsen as well as architect Frank Gehry, musician Kris Kristofferson and many others. We trace his journey from his youth on the plains of Kansas to his extraordinary career in and on the edge of Hollywood. What was he really like, this embodiment of a rebel against American conformism, who created unforgettable characters in films like 'Easy Rider', 'Apocalypse Now' and 'Blue Velvet'? Why was cinema not enough, photography being his other passion next to acting? His works have been exhibited at the world's best galleries. Hermann Vaske's documentary about an actor obsessed with art and cinema. (Warsaw Film Festival)
