‘Faye’ Review: The Legendary Dunaway Reveals All About Co-Stars, Lovers, Movies & Her Bipolar Disorder In Compelling HBO Documentary – Cannes Film Festival
A review of Cannes world premiere docummentary on the life , loves, and career of Faye Dunaway.
It is clear that what she really wanted was to act, and her initial ambitions didn’t include Hollywood but instead working under the guidance of Elia Kazan at Lincoln Center and then on Broadway before getting her first major movie break from multiple Oscar winning producer Sam Spiegel in the quirky 60’s romp, The Happening opposite Anthony Quinn. Director Laurent Bouzereau is a veteran of various movie oriented docs including a fine one on Natalie Wood and many chronicling Steven Spielberg films, and indeed his Amblin’ productions is behind this one as well. He isn’t trying to rewrite the rules of this star biodoc form, nor is HBO which has found recent success with films chronicling everyone from Mary Tyler Moore to Rock Hudson.
