The American Dreamer

Raw and Unsettling... probably the way Dennis Hopper would have wanted the documentary about the making of his film, "The Last Movie" , to feel.

I'm more intrigued to watch Dennis Hopper's follow up to "Easy Rider" so I guess that's a job well done from this documentary. Hopper experiences all the high and lows of an artist with a lot of support by showcasing his frequent drug use while in the process of completing his film. I can see why the "The Last Movie", which I have yet to see, was reviewed poorly by general audiences. Hopper is barely able to function at times, so it's surprising it was even completed with slight cohesion. Definitely give this a watch if you are a fan of the behind the scenes work of a film director with a lot of clout and drugs in his system. If that doesn't intrigue you in the slightest, this may not be your type of movie.
