Liza Minnelli’s ‘Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story’, Supercross Fan Josh Brolin Narrates ‘Pay Dirt’, Steven Soderbergh Horror – Specialty Preview
Notable indie film openings include documentaries on Liza Minnelli and Supercross and lates from Steven Soderbergh, Angel Studios and Phoebe Dynevor.
They’ll be moderated by Minnelli’s longtime friend and collaborator Jim Caruso, who is featured in the doc along with Michael Feinstein, Mia Farrow, Ben Vereen, Joel Grey, the late Chita Rivera — and the star herself. The film, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival last summer ( see Deadline review), brings into focus the dazzling, complex period of Minnelli’s life starting in the 1970s, just after the tragic death of her mother Judy Garland, as she confronts a range of personal and professional challenges on the way to becoming a bona fide legend, illuminating contradictions from privilege and struggle, strength and vulnerability, unreal expectations and towering talent. Relative newcomer Monkey Wrench Films from Henry C. Lystad and Tom Putnam is wrangling the Josh Brolin-narrated documentary Pay Dirt: The Story Of Supercross by Paul Taublieb in partnership with Monster Energy.
