The documentary of Malcolm McDowell's celebration of Lindsay Anderson, their times and their colleagues, is a unique hybrid of film, theater and literature.
Directed by Mike Kaplan, whose friendship with McDowell began on Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange and who produced Anderson's last feature film, The Whales Of August (1987), Never Apologize combines McDowell's personal reminiscences with his readings of pieces written by and about his friend and mentor. These are brought to life by the actor's often hilarious and moving impressions of not only the provocative Anderson, but also the notables in their circle, including Alan Bates, Bette Davis, John Ford, John Gielgud, Lillian Gish, Richard Harris, Laurence Olivier and Rachel Roberts. We visit a group of colorful personalities and witness the cultural, social and political climate of the period.

Unique, engaging, theatrical
The film is by no means a documentary, purely a performative piece on the part of McDowell but he is witty, engaging, clever. The film is a reminiscence, it is ... read more »
