This documentary is the Rosetta Stone of the genre. It shows a director (Richard Stanley) getting fired off his own movie, living in the jungle with the extras, and the replacement director (John Frankenheimer) physically fighting the lead actor (Marlon Brando). It has everything: ego, weather, animal handlers, and insanity. It proves that the truth of the entertainment industry is always weirder than the fiction.
Rating: 5/5 stars.
