- DirectorAlex GrazioliStarsJuliette BinocheEric StoltzAbel FerraraAlex Grazioli follows bad-boy filmmaker Abel Ferrara as he spends three grueling years battling obstacles in Italy to direct "Mary," a modern-re imagining of the life of Mary Magdalene. Featuring candid interviews and on-set footage with Forest Whitaker, Heather Graham, Matthew Modine, and Juliette Binoche, "Odyssey," brings to bear an impressive tableau of Ferrara's colleagues as they discuss his unique approach to creating dynamic films. But it is Ferrara himself who shines as the star of this oddly cautionary tale about the serious personal costs of making distinctive cinema. With music by UNKLE.
