Was a free ticket last night to see “Listen to me, Marlon” at the BFI. It’s a fantastically involving documentary about Marlon Brando, narrated by the legend (for once this epithet is entirely justified) himself. It’s brilliantly pieced together from hundreds of cassette and video tapes discovered at his house after his death. Yes, he was difficult, monstrous at times but this film helps explain why. Marlon Brando was a man of extraordinary talent and principle but he never made a record. Never mind, Marlon Jackson made some great ones.
An offer I couldn’t refuse.
