Along for the Ride (2017) (NR)

synopsis

Method actor, filmmaker, photographer, fine artist, art collector, and all-American madman—the many sides of Dennis Hopper are explored in Nick Ebeling's remarkable documentary confirming Hopper as a major filmmaker, a fact often eclipsed by his legend. Through the triumph of EASY RIDER, the magnificent career suicide of THE LAST MOVIE, the overlooked masterpiece OUT OF THE BLUE, and a midlife comeback after plenty of booze and brawling, ALONG FOR THE RIDE is a vivacious work of film biography with a freewheeling style that's only appropriate to its anarchic subject.
