The life and (hard) times of producer Robert Evans. It chronicles his start in show business, his rise, his downfall and comeback. He provides the narration for pictures and videos taken throughout his career. Also, they try something different with the stills here...the backgrounds (or foregrounds) are real and moving while the characters stay still. Some people might like it...I found it incredibly annoying...it kept "pushing" me out of the picture.
Also the film doesn't add up to much. There's precious little insight to the movies he produced (except for "Rosemary's Baby") and even less insight to his character. I left the theatre still not knowing much about him.
Still, I enjoyed it. Some of the pics are incredible and there are some very funny observations (he said he never understood what "Chinatown" was about!). So it's worth seeing for bits like that. Otherwise it's nothing much.
