Sky Behind Feature Doc On Iconic British Director David Lean; Embankment Launching Sales At TIFF
A David Lean Sky doc is in the works and Embankment is launching sales at TIFF on the Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago director's story.
EXCLUSIVE: Iconic British director David Lean, whose credits included Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago, is being given the feature documentary treatment by Sky, with Embankment Films launching sales at TIFF. Haunted by the shadow of his dismissive father and his puritan upbringing, Lean was married six times, and he created layered and complex narratives in his work while struggling to find connection and meaning in his personal life. At a moment when the future of the theatrical experience feels threatened, it is the perfect time to look at the life and work of the man that created ‘pure cinema’, the big screen epic, and so many of the greatest movies ever made.”
