Dennis Hopper: Uneasy Rider
“Uneasy Rider” goes back down the memory lane of the legend that is Dennis Hopper. From his humble beginnings in the dust blown plains of Kansas to the mind blowing pains of Apocalypse Now. From the A list glamour of LA to the constantly pissed lifestyle of New Mexico. From box office zero to art house hero. From Has Been Actor to happening artist Hopper’s life was no easy ride. But a hell of a trip. Uneasy Rider invites us to climb on for the rollercoaster ride of a lifetime to discover the true Dennis Hopper.
“Uneasy Rider” features interviews with directors such as Wim Wenders, Isabel Coixet and Alex Cox, actresses such as Isabella Rossellini and Diane Kruger, actors such as Michael Madsen and Harry Dean Stanton, artists such as Julian Schnabel and Ed Ruscha, photographers such as Anton Corbijn, architects such as Frank Gehry, musicians such as Kris Kristofferson and Academy Award winning producer Jeremy Thomas.
The title track for Uneasy Rider is exclusively written and composed by Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics.
