Not without reason they say that life is the best scriptwriter. And some outstanding personalities sometimes play such tricks that it’s time to make movies and put on plays about their lives.
These documentaries will help you get to know them from an informal point of view: through the stories of family and friends, their interviews, confessions of former partners, and even the revelations of sworn enemies.
Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind
The life story of the legendary actress, as told by her relatives. This documentary is as entertaining as Spinia games because it shows previously unreleased material related to Natalie Wood: home movies, photographs, diaries, letters, and other valuable witnesses to the times.
The main initiator of the film was the daughter of actress Natasha Gregson Wagner, who was only 11 years old when Wood tragically died in a strange event – allegedly she accidentally drowned while sailing in California. The actress was only 43. Natasha talks about this tragedy in the context of her mother’s memory, noting that public speculation overshadowed her roles in the movies and generally her personality itself. And yet Natalie Wood was really a superstar of the 50s and 70s and received three Oscar nominations before she turned 25.

Personal and professional victories, bitter falls and small joys – all the important milestones of the Hollywood icon’s biography are also reflected in very confidential interviews with her friends and colleagues, including Robert Redford, Mia Farrow, and George Hamilton.
Very Ralph
The first film dedicated to the creator of one of the most successful brands in fashion history, Ralph Lauren. Like Nathalie Wood, he too has a Russian trace: his parents emigrated from the Russian Empire to the USA after the Revolution. The movie was shot and produced by the famous documentary filmmaker Susan Lacy.
For the first time, Ralph Lauren tells about his childhood, his wife, and their marriage, the birth of the brand, the reaction to the critics, his inventive advertising campaigns and ahead-of-his-time ideas so candidly and in detail. In the film, the couturier confesses that he created all his life and not the fashion, which he hates and tries to distance himself from everything too pretentious and pretentious. It isn’t without reason that he was one of the first designers to make furniture and interior items and to participate in advertising campaigns to invite real families, not just extras.
The movie features rare archives of the brand’s half-century history, as well as candid interviews with relatives, longtime colleagues and celebrities. Among them are Anna Wintour, Karl Lagerfeld, Hillary Clinton, Naomi Campbell, Martha Stewart, Calvin Klein, Diane von Furstenberg, Jessica Chastain, and many others.
Allen v. Farrow
A documentary mini-series about the confrontation between two iconic Hollywood figures – director Woody Allen and actress Mia Farrow. For years their marital and creative union seemed to be the perfection that everyone wants to strive for until a terrible thing happened.
Allen and Farrow made 13 movies together but completely stopped communicating and divorced when Mia accused the director of sexually abusing her daughter Dylan. The authors of the film series interviewed the grown girl and her mother to try to get to the bottom of what happened and find out why the man managed to escape criminal punishment.
