    • Synopsis
    • In November 1970, while filming in New Mexico, Dennis Hopper flies to Los Angeles to meet Orson Wells who was working on The Other Side of The Wind (2018). Two prominent giants in American film history; Hopper, who opened the New Hollywood era with Easy Rider (1969), and Wells, who changed the grammar of classic Hollywood with Citizen Kane (1941) are now together. This film is a documentary that records an intimate and candid conversation between the two. Sex, Christianity, violence, liberation, political radicalism, television, childhood, the presence of actors and audiences. There exists no limit to their topics. Even questions like “are film directors gods or a magician?” are natural.
