Filmed during a studio-organized press junket, "Meet Marlon Brando" observes Marlon Brando as he fields a succession of television interviews meant to promote Morituri. Rather than comply, Brando deflects questions with irony, flirtation, and philosophical detours, subtly undermining the promotional ritual itself. Shot in direct-cinema style by Albert Maysles and David Maysles, the film becomes a candid study of celebrity, media performance, and resistance to commodification.
Directed by Albert Maysles and David Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin

watching him shift whenever he’s asked about Native Americans was so interesting. he’s done interviews before where he gets frustrated because there’s never enough time to talk about it.

I genuinely wish that Marlon Brando was still alive I would have loved to meet him.
