A cerebral, nostalgic documentary that celebrates the creative ferment of 1970s Hollywood while unflinchingly examining the ambition, excess, and self-destruction that accompanied it.

The chronicle of the mind-blowing journey that was Hollywood during the seventies; the true and gripping story of the last golden age of American cinema, an exalted celebration of creativity and experimentation; but also of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll: a turbulent and dark tale of ambition, envy, betrayal, hatred and self-destruction.
