REMEMBERING GENE
WILDER
This loving tribute to Gene
Wilder celebrates his life and legacy as the comic genius behind an
extraordinary string of film roles, from his first collaboration with Mel
Brooks in The Producers, to the
enigmatic title role in the original Willy
Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, to his inspired on-screen partnership with
Richard Pryor in movies like Silver
Streak. It is illustrated by a bevy of touching and hilarious clips and
outtakes, never-before-seen home movies, narration from Wilder’s audiobook
memoir, and interviews with a roster of brilliant friends and collaborators
like Mel Brooks, Alan Alda, and Carol Kane. Remembering Gene
Wilder shines a light on an essential performer, writer, director, and
all-around mensch. (USA, 2023, 92 mins,
