Description

Elizabeth Taylor was famous for her iconic performances on screen—from CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF to WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?—as well as her personal challenges behind-the-scenes. Now, crafted from 70 hours of newly discovered interviews and unprecedented access to the movie star’s archives, this beautifully crafted portrait reveals the complexities and vulnerabilities that lay beneath her glossy persona. From this year’s Cannes Film Festival and directed by Oscar-nominated director Nanette Burstein (THE KID STAYS IN THE PICTURE), this “intriguing … elegantly constructed” (The Hollywood Reporter) documentary is a “satisfying journey through one of Hollywood’s most memorable careers” (Deadline). Chicago premiere!
