Tell Them Who You Are

Aroview: An intimate, prickly, and ultimately moving portrait of famed American cinematographer Haskell Wexler, who lensed seminal films such as ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOOS NEST and WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?, but is equally known for his radical politics and difficult personality.

Directed by Wexler's son, this emerges both as a broad-ranging examination of the octagenarian's life, but also as a fascinating glimpse into a volatile father-son relationship, delivered with generous doses of self-deprecating irony from the almost completely different younger Wexler. Worthy viewing not only for cineastes, this delivers insights about the difficulties of family life which resonate with a emotive and understated dignity.

Includes interviews with Jane Fonda, John Sayles, Milos Forman, Conrad L. Hall, Paul Newman, Dennis Hopper and many others.
