"Brando rarely spoke out – until now. A compelling, often surprising new documentary, Listen to Me Marlon, tells his life story in his own words. The narration comes from more than 200 hours of personal audio tapes made by Brando, starting in the 1950s and continuing for the next 50 years. The images that accompany the recordings are movie clips, archive interviews and an unsettling, digitised 3D rendering of Brando’s head that he was measured for in the 1980s. The film reveals a Brando we have not seen before: a voracious autodidact, self-doubting, often misinterpreted. As his voice rumbles on, it’s hard not to feel that he is setting the record straight from beyond the grave.".
