- Synopsis:
Originally presented at the Cannes Film Festival, Never Apologize, Malcolm McDowell's celebration of the award-winning director, critic, essayist and anarchist Lindsay Anderson and their times and colleagues is a unique hybrid of film, theatre and literature. Evolved from the charismatic McDowell's performance at the Edinburgh Film Festival, director Mike Kaplan intercuts the actor's reminiscences of his friend and mentor with a wealth of archive material to provide a fascinating portrait of a complex individual and the social, cultural and political climate in which he lived and worked. McDowell illustrates his personal reminiscences with his readings of pieces written by and about his friend and mentor. These are brought to life by the actor's hilarious and moving impressions of not only the provocative Anderson, but also the notables in their circle, including Alan Bates, Bette Davis, John Ford, John Gielgud, Lillian Gish, Richard Harris, Laurence Olivier and Rachel Roberts. - Actors:
