William Friedkin, a Filmmaker in the Heart of Darkness
Everyone knows, or at least has heard of, the films French Connection or The Exorcist. But few know the name of the man behind these two monuments of cinema.
Who is William Friedkin?
This documentary explores the fascinating journey of a visionary director obsessed with evil, ambition, and extremes. From his early investigative documentaries to his meteoric rise in Hollywood, through spectacular failures and artistic rebirth, this film reveals an intense, insatiable, and always unpredictable Friedkin.
The film has been aired in March 2025 on Ciné+ in France and has received a lot of praises from the press and critics.
