An iconic actor in his intimate moments, with film clips from some of his 250 films and his own heart-breaking renditions of American folk songs. Lensed in colour and b/w by Seamus McGarvey (Academy Award nomination 2013 for Anna Karenina), the film explores the actor’s enigmatic outlook on his life, his unexploited talents as a musician, and includes scenes with David Lynch, Wim Wenders, Sam Shepard, Kris Kristofferson and Debbie Harry.
"Long overdue". Hollywood Reporter
"Warm, wise and wonderful". The Telegraph
“Probably the best concert film you’ll see all year - that’s right, this part-documentary, part-retrospective on the terrific, prolific screen actor Harry Dean Stanton arrives stuffed with laughs, poignancy, and crooning by the great man himself. You’ll come for the amazing anecdotes, but you’ll stay for the music.” Mike Scurfield in Digital Fix/Edinburgh Bites
