Marlon Brando is not only regarded as one of the most significant actors of the 20th century because of his unforgettable roles in such films as A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE and THE GODFATHER, but also because of his famous method acting. LISTEN TO ME MARLON is not your usual actor portrait. We hear, in the truest sense of the word, from both the young and the old Marlon Brando. Instead of interviewing former colleagues or family members, filmmaker Stevan Riley has mixed archive material with recordings made by Brando himself. Brando on Brando: we have never been closer to this enigmatic man. We follow him through his turbulent life as a child, star and father. An intense, captivating and highly emotional journey.
