Description

Description

A penetrating documentary of the last days of cult film director Nicholas Ray, assembled by Wim Wenders, whose admiration for Ray is obvious in virtually every frame of his own work. Dying slowly of cancer, Ray reflects on a lifetime of accomplishments, failures and compromises, with plenty of screen time given over to his reminiscences of Joan Crawford, James Dean and others who appeared in his films.
