✦ 𝐀 𝐑𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐥 𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨 ✦Marlon Brando, who was born 100 years ago in April, was, by all accounts, not always an easy man in real life. But he was without a doubt one of the greatest American actors who influenced generations with his fiercely committed and complex portrayals of men struggling with their feelings. The stage thespian’s first major film role, in 1950’s 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐧 (aka 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐞) directed by Fred Zinneman, was an immediate home run, with The Hollywood Reporter already singling Brando out as a new star.
In the 1950s alone, the list of iconic roles is long: 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐮𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐞𝐬𝐚𝐫, 𝐀 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐜𝐚𝐫 𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞, 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐎𝐧𝐞, 𝐕𝐢𝐯𝐚 𝐙𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐚! and 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭, all of which will be screened during our two-month retrospective that will conclude at the end of April.
Though often cast as a rebel or a tough guy – but with a sensitive soul – Brando also repeatedly demonstrated his impressive range. He was 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧’s alien father but also a lawyer in apartheid South Africa in 𝐀 𝐃𝐫𝐲 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧. He was a slick, singing gambler in the musical 𝐆𝐮𝐲𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐬 but also the delirious Colonel Kurtz in Coppola’s 𝐀𝐩𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐩𝐬𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐰, shown in the Redux version on glorious celluloid.
The film that gave Brando his most recognisable role, as the title character in 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐝𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫, will screen on his birthday, April 3. And during the same month, we’ll show 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐞𝐧, a crime comedy in which Brando plays an Italo-American gangster who looks suspiciously… like the lead from 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐝𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫. Only someone as intense, talented and rebellious as Brando would dare to play the character of Don Corleone so close to satire whilst always remaining emotionally credible. And then do it again, but now on the other side of satire, some decades later.
