Pharos of Chaos (Leuchtturm des Chaos) (Blu-ray)
Pharos of Chaos (a.k.a Leuchtturm des Chaos) is a 1983 documentary profile of the American actor Sterling Hayden (1916 – 1986). The film features discussions with Hayden concerning his life and career, intercut with clips and stills from his films.[2] It follows the actor through several long and digressive afternoon conversations with the German filmmakers aboard the barge in the Netherlands on which he was living.[2] Hayden smokes hashish and drinks heavily throughout, telling the filmmakers that they "have a record of exactly what alcoholism is". Hayden recounts his shame at having co-operated with the House Un-American Activities Committee during the Second Red Scare, his pride in his achievements as a sailor, and adopts a scornful attitude towards his illustrious career as a Hollywood film icon.
