  • Il film esplora la sua carriera quasi cinquantennale, il carisma esplosivo e un percorso atipico che gli ha permesso di schivare le insidie di Hollywood

Netflix ha svelato il trailer di Being Eddie, il film documentario di Angus Wall incentrato sul leggendario comico e attore Eddie Murphy. Il documentario ripercorre il suo cammino verso il successo, la longevità della carriera e la sua trasformazione in uomo di famiglia — il tutto senza mai cedere alle insidie di Hollywood.

Oltre alle interviste con lo stesso Murphy, compaiono anche come ospiti d’eccezione colleghi e amici come Arsenio Hall, Brian Grazer, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Jamie Foxx, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Jerry Bruckheimer, Jerry Seinfeld, John Landis, Kenan Thompson, Kevin Hart, Michael Che, Pete Davidson, Ruth Carter, Tracee Ellis Ross e Tracy Morgan. Si soffermano su come Murphy abbia cambiato la comicità, Hollywood, la cultura Black e, in sostanza, il mondo.

“Va da sé che esiste un solo Eddie Murphy. Nessun altro comico adolescente ha condiviso il palco con Jerry Seinfeld a 17 anni ed è entrato nel cast di Saturday Night Live subito dopo il diploma. Nessun attore ha mai interpretato un poliziotto, un medico e un asino — e, al tempo stesso, dominato ogni sfaccettatura di Hollywood in cui si è cimentato”, si legge nella sinossi ufficiale.

“Pochissimi, poi, sono stati una celebrità di serie A per oltre quattro decenni, senza mai cedere al suo lato più oscuro. L’insolita combinazione di carisma esplosivo, ambizione focalizzata, talento allo stato puro e profonda circospezione mette Murphy in una categoria a sé, ed emerge in tutta la sua forza in Being Eddie, diretto dal due volte premio Oscar Angus Wall”, prosegue. “Il documentario riunisce leggende della comicità e di Hollywood come Dave Chappelle, Tracee Ellis Ross, Jamie Foxx, Jerry Seinfeld, Reginald Hudlin e altri per celebrare l’attore candidato all’Oscar e la sua carriera quasi cinquantennale, che lo ha visto infrangere barriere, inventare generi e ispirare generazioni di talenti. Per la prima volta in assoluto, Murphy invita il pubblico a casa sua per ripercorrere il suo straordinario percorso artistico, rivelando al contempo la vita interiore abbagliante che da sempre lo muove — e lo tiene con i piedi per terra — questa star che capita una volta ogni secolo.”

Guarda il trailer qui sopra. Becoming Eddie debutta il 12 novembre su Netflix.
