Synopsis

“At least if I died tomorrow, you knew that I was here.” One of the many disarming statements voiced by the singular Irish actor, poet and singer Richard Harris (1930 - 2002), of whom it’s easy to speak in superlatives. Forty inimitable years full of fabulous and controversial moments from his private and professional life, dating from Harris’s iconic roles in the dramas THIS SPORTING LIFE and RED DESERT, to the wisdom, tenderness and dignity with which he imbued his Marcus Aurelius in GLADIATOR and Albus Dumbledore in the first two Harry Potter films. Seasoned filmmaker Adrian Sibley adopts an original approach to address the conventions of the documentary portrait, among others, assisted by Harris’s sons, Jared, Jamie and Damian.

Synopsis

A blind ballet dancer is being stalked by Tommy, a dissociative identity disorder (split personality) street artist. A surreal image of Tommy descending the lonely path of the seeker, his suit made bespoke. A blind ballet dancer. Both will be on Wolfman Radio. Some say that there is a permanent and a temporary personality within a human being. A twisting walkabout in the worlds of separateness beyond dreams and reality. Unfolding with the logic of a dream, which can be interpreted but never explained. Punctuated by a series of occurrences that twist and turn where the lamb becomes the wolf. 4th International Film Festival of Crete & Awards 2023 - World Premiere - Best Feature Film Award, Best Script, Best Female Actor, Best Male Actor
