Paul Newman, Behind Blue Eyes plot
From the very beginning, actor Paul Newman enchants cinema audiences with his exceptional azure blue eyes. The reserved Newman himself finds it trivial and even disturbing that everyone raves about his appearance. The actor and director - who starred in more than sixty films and directed twelve - preferred to focus on work and family. And, just as importantly, on his philanthropic ventures and political activism. In this documentary, director Pierre-Francois Gaudry explores Newman's complete filmography, with a whole series of feature film fragments, some old interviews with Newman himself, a modest amount of backstage images and quotes from actors who ended up on the silver screen with him, such as Ellen Burstyn , James Naughton, Brigitte Fossey, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Lolita Davidovich.
