This British documentary, directed and written by Adam Simon, presents a fascinating chronicle of one of Hollywood's most illustrious writer/directors, Sam Fuller, now in his eighties. Tim Robbins narrates and interviews the cigar-puffing, tough old filmmaker Fuller in Paris, the city where he lived for 13 years before returning to the US in the mid-1990s. Fuller describes the three primary phases of his professional life as a newspaperman, a warrior and as a filmmaker. Three contemporary filmmakers, Martin Scorcese, Jim Jarmusch and Quentin Tarantino describe the ways in which Fuller's work influences their own.
