Friedkin Uncut
Directed by Francesco Zippel, FRIEDKIN UNCUT made its world premiere at the 2018 Venice Film Festival, where William Friedkin was also presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Oscar®-winning, Chicago-born director William Friedkin achieved fame with his 1973 horror blockbuster The Exorcist. This illuminating documentary shows the director’s unwavering commitment to rawness and realism across his career, from The French Connection (1972) to Killer Joe (2011).
Featuring interviews with Ellen Burstyn, Willem Dafoe, and Quentin Tarantino, among others, FRIEDKIN UNCUT reveals a savvy craftsman who is unapologetic about his no-nonsense approach to moviemaking.
“A startling aperture onto the bright, witty, original mind of a man who isn’t afraid to make unconventional leaps.”
