Dennis Hopper

Dennis Hopper. One of the most talented but controversial actors of the 20th century, almost as notorious for his off-screen alcohol and drug abuse as he was for his roles in such powerful films as his self-directed The Last Movie, David Lynch's Blue Velvet, or Tim Hunter's River's Edge. Dennis Hopper: Movie Top Tens presents a chronological examination of ten of Dennis Hopper's most challenging movies, which are analysed in illustrated, in-depth essays by some of the best cutting-edge film critics of today. The result is both an incisive overview of Dennis Hopper as an actor, and a critical anthology of films by some of the leading cult directors of recent decades such as David Lynch, Tobe Hooper, Wim Wenders, Henry Jaglom, and Curtis Harrington. Featured films include: Blue Velvet, Out Of The Blue, Easy Rider, The Last Movie, Paris Trout, The American Friend, River's Edge, Night Tide, Tracks, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.
