Harry Dean Stanton: Partly Fiction2013
Sorry. This film is not currently available.
HARRY DEAN STANTON: PARTLY FICTION is a personal documentary about the iconic actor in his intimate moments, with clips from some of his two hundred and fifty films and his own heart-breaking renditions of American folk songs. Lensed in color and black and white by Seamus McGarvey, the film explores the actor's enigmatic outlook on his life, his unexploited talents as a musician, and includes scenes with David Lynch, Wim Wenders, Sam Shepard, Kris Kristofferson and Debbie Harry.
What makes this film worth watching?
"If you’re obsessed with cinema, Harry Dean Stanton probably has something to do with it. The man’s genetic material, thanks to his appearance in over 200 films, is woven deep into a half-century of movie history." - Chris Chang, Film Comment

I had on my bucket list, to get drunk and sit around singing old Mexican ballads with Harry Dean Stanton. Too late for that one now. My bucket's got a hole in it. But you never know...
That being so, there's always this excellent and very personal doc by director Sophie Huber in which I can watch Harry muse about his life with none other than David Lynch, and hang with him at the bar in Dan Tanas. highest recommend.
David Lynch: "How would you describe yourself?"
Harry Dean Stanton: "As nothing. There is no self."
David Lynch: "How would you like to be remembered?"
Harry Dean Stanton: "It doesn't matter."
David Lynch: "What were your dreams as a child?"
Harry Dean Stanton: (Clears Throat) "Nightmares."
