Hollywood Rated 'R'

In the public mind, Cyril Collard is famous for one film, Savage Nights. A figure struck down by fate at the height of success, becoming at his death the symbol of that whole generation which is sometimes called the AIDS generation. However seen through the eyes and stories of those who were in close touch with him, what is revealed is the wide range of desires of Collard. The inexhaustible energy of the man who knew he was condemned eight years before he died and who fought to the last. And also the other side of this hunger for life which sometimes made him an exasperating meddler sick with love, sick with loving too much, too briefly or too badly. The portrait of someone who dared show himself nakedly without sparing anyone.

An intimate portrait of actor-writer-director John Cassavetes and a loving tribute to his genius for studying and depicting the human character. In-depth, candid interviews with his wife and muse Gena Rowlands as well as his most trusted friends and co-workers like Peter Falk, Ben Gazzara, Seymour Cassel, etc. Clips from Cassavetes' greatest films, and many rare photos illustrate this touching documentary.
