As one of cinema’s all-time greatest directors, David Lean redefined what movies could be. Behind the visionary lens of classic films like LAWRENCE OF ARABIA and DOCTOR ZHIVAGO was a man whose relentless ambition earned him a reputation as an obsessive maverick. This in-depth portrayal of the seven-time Academy Award® nominee reveals the often messy and painful reality of a historic luminary. Narrated by Cate Blanchett, and with Kenneth Branagh as the voice of Lean, MAVERICK features interviews from contemporary directors including Wes Anderson, Nia DaCosta, Alfonso Cuarón, Celine Song, and Denis Villeneuve, all of whom revitalize the memory of a groundbreaking filmmaker.
