Harry Dean Stanton: Partly Fiction

This is an intimate portrait of Harry Dean Stanton, the 86-year-old actor and former hellraiser. A perennial character actor, co-star to the likes of Paul Newman, Jack Nicholson and Marlon Brando and celebrated for his lead role in ‘Paris, Texas’ (1984), Stanton reminisces – somewhat reluctantly – about a career in the half-shadows. He performs songs, too, from the privacy of his sofa, and is joined briefly by David Lynch (who has directed him several times) taking on the role of interviewer.
