New Documentary: Clint Eastwood, la dernière légende (2022)
I’ve noticed this documentary beginning to surface a little bit more lately on the IMDB and other places on the internet. Clint Eastwood, la dernière légende is a French documentary written and directed by Clélia Cohen who has previously made documentaries on the Emmanuelle franchise (Emmanuelle: Queen of French Erotic Cinema) (2021) and John Travolta (John Travolta: Rückkehr nach Hollywood) (2015).
The portrait of the last cowboy Hollywood legend dives into the 65 years of an extraordinary career in Hollywood, highlighted iconic films like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, as well as Million Dollar Baby, Mystic River and Gran Torino all the way to Cry Macho in 2021. It is no small task to cover more than 60 years of cinema history, especially when it is trying to surveyed with such breadth and diversity: TV star, international star, controversial icon, contested director, filmmaker with a capital F, Eastwood has been through it all, experienced it all, and it is first of all this romantic trajectory, this true American pastoral that the documentary wants to tell with all the passion it possibly can.
The Documentary, also known as ‘Clint Eastwood: The Last Legend’ was apparently broadcast on November 20th 2022 in France and has a running time of 78 minutes. I did manage to find a preview of this documentary (below) which seems to use excerpts from the BBC documentary Clint Eastwood, The Man with No Name (1977).
I’d be really keen to see this documentary, and not sure if it will find its way onto DVD or Blu-ray, but it’s certainly worth looking out for. Please feel free to drop me a line or leave a comment if anyone should have any information.
