'Waltzing With Brando's Director "Can't Think of Any Scene That Was Fictitious" — Even That Eel Scene

Viewers are in for a delightful, comedic, and downright strange ride with Bill Fishman's Waltzing With Brando. The long-gestating indie flick stars Billy Zane as legendary Oscar winner Marlon Brando at the height of his powers around the release of The Godfather and Last Tango in Paris. Rather than focus on his career, however, it pulls from architect Bernard Judge's memoir of the same name and follows the actor's efforts alongside Judge to plan out the perfect paradise on a small, uninhabited island in Tahiti. The film offers another eccentric side of Brando that few people get to see as it tracks his and Judge's evolving relationship and understanding of how to build an ecological marvel that keeps the natural beauty of the island alive. Fishman assures, too, that everything down to its wildest scenes are accurate depictions of real anecdotes.
