Summary: Rebecca Brando and John Battsek (Producer) at The Landmark in West Los Angeles. Moderated by Landmark Theatres' Dan Gorski. Film synopsis: Marlon Brando was one of the most acclaimed and influential actors of all time, and also one of the most elusive and enigmatic. Throughout his life he privately recorded his thoughts about life, work and philosophy on tape; out of that stash of over 200 hours of reflective commentary filmmaker Stevan Riley has skillfully crafted this powerful confessional autobiography from beyond the grave, told in Brando’s own words. Brando tells of his unstable childhood, his rocky relationship with his demanding father, the tragic deaths of his children, his early devotion to Stella Adler and The Method, his sensational Broadway triumph in “A Streetcar Named Desire,” his rapid rise in films where he hoped to bring a new realism, his disillusion with and scorn for the movie industry and his search for inner tranquility. Listen to Me Marlon is a fascinating, unique and riveting portrait of an unforgettable man.
