Marvelous documentary about the phenomenal career of Clint Eastwood

Bruce Ricker's "Clint Eastwood: Out of the shadows" is an outstanding, stylish, interesting and entertaining documentary about my all-time favorite actor - cool and hard-boiled movie legend I've always loved from the bottom of my heart. It's a great flashback (as narrated by Morgan Freeman) to the impressive and respectable life and works of Clint Eastwood. It tells about his passion to jazz, his rise from the small time b-movies of the 50's and television series "Rawhide" to Sergio Leone's beloved Dollars trilogy and eventually his awarded masterpiece "Unforgiven". It tells about his chance to direct his first own ambitious motion picture "Play Misty for me". It tells about the five successful Harry Callahan movies, spectacular anti-Vietnam western "The Outlaw Josey Wales", and his lighter comedic works ("Every which way but loose", "Bronco Billy"...)

It examines his wonderful and colorful cooperation with his dear friend, co-worker and teacher, late director Don Siegel. It explains how and why Clint Eastwood has become perhaps the greatest movie star of the latter half of the 20th century. Besides Clint himself documentary interviews numerous amount of experts (Curtis Hanson, Martin Scorsese...), friends and people he has worked with (including actors like Eli Wallach, Meryl Streep, James Garner, Gene Hackman, Forest Whitaker...) and even Clint's mother. "Clint Eastwood: Out of the shadows" was such a fascinating documentary I never wanted it to end. It should have been at least half hours longer. I recommend it to anyone who loves Eastwood and of course also to the ones who dislike him just to convince how notable, excellent and spectacular actor/director he truly is. 10/10.
