Suíça, Documentary, 2012, 77′

An impressionistic documentary of iconic postwar Hollywood actor Harry Dean Stanton. Now 86, Stanton’s career includes 200 films, among major and independent productions. Music is an important part of the documentary and a way to get to know him better too. Always a loner, quiet, he advocates his father’s motto: go straight ahead until you hit something. Huber recovers excerpts from films such as Alien, The Missouri Breaks, Cool Hand Luke and Paris, Texas to illustrate a versatile career.
