    The Man, the Myth

    I would argue that a man like Yul Brunner deserves a bigger and lengthier documentary - but this is the one I found on Prime, so this is the one I watched. And it's still a good one. Quite a few things that I did not about him get talked about. Then again I have to admit, I never really looked into the private life of him to begin with.

    His obsession with the King and I is quite incredible. Only matched with his obsesssion to perform. A few anecdotes come to light and every major movie/role gets shined upon. Really interesting and well made, with people who knew him and admired him ... not just his family

    more than a portrait

    Fascinating is the manner to feel this large puzzle of discover and definition of a life and career like a sort of exploration of a far land. The film is about his unique force of seduction and about roles, about impressions and about gestures defining him and that is its basic virtue - the documentary gives more than the map of a biography but a sort of man defining part of an exotic, sofisticated, maybe eccentric character. Sure, for many, Yul Brynner is not exactly the great actor , many roles are perceived as superficials and results of compromises but the main thing, real significant about him remains the authentic charisma. And the documentary knows working with that.
