Literary genius and pugnacious provocateur, Norman Mailer always gave people something to talk about. Going behind the headlines and the hoopla, this new documentary presents previously unseen interviews with lovers, admirers, enemies, children, and wives—as well as precious footage of the famous physical brawl with Rip Torn and the more literary one with Gore Vidal. This wonderful portrait is “as brash and fast-talking as the man himself.” (Denver Post)
Q&A director Joseph Mantegna and New York Times critic Janet Maslin
Joseph Mantegna. 2010. 106 m. NR. US.
