About this listen

 Soon after Al Pacino asked author Lawrence Grobel to join him on his quest to film the evolution of Salome, Oscar Wilde's notorious play, the actor decided Grobel should play an even bigger role. "I want you in my movie!" he declared, and so began a rollicking journey through the back alleys of Wilde's 19th century world, an exploratory jaunt, captured on film, that took the actor and author from Dublin and London to Paris, and finally to the hot desert sands of a dry lake bed and the neon lit stages of Las Vegas. Grobel makes his big-screen movie debut, appearing as Pacino's biographer, creative consultant and sometime alter-ego throughout the documentary. But of course, he never left his real life role as a journalist behind. In the year-and-a-half it took to film the documentary, he kept an intimate journal, detailing every aspect of the often hilarious, frequently indecisive, and wildly creative process. "I WANT YOU IN MY MOVIE!" captures it all -- the glorious moments, the failures, the critical attacks and ultimately, the triumph of art over all the painful obstacles. “I expose myself in this film in a way I never have before,” Pacino confessed to Grobel, five years after the project began. And all is revealed in this intimate account, which documents the hopes, dreams, and frustrations of one of the world's greatest actors in his real-life role as documentarian, director, producer and performer. Peppered with a parade of artists and celebrities who come in and out of the actor's life, and the author's exclusive behind-the-scenes photographs, "I WANT YOU IN MY MOVIE!" is a gift-wrapped treat for fans of Al Pacino as well as his leading lady Jessica Chastain and anyone interested in the often unpredictable but always fascinating process of documentary filmmaking. It's a delicious sequel to Grobel’s internationally acclaimed Al Pacino in Conversation with Lawrence Grobel, which was celebrated by the French Cinema Critics’ Guild as The Best International Cinema Book of the Year. So get some popcorn and indulge. Direction & Production Entertainment & Celebrities Entertainment & Performing Arts Film & TV Celebrity Funny Witty France
