Friedkin Uncut offers an introspective look at the life and artistic journey of William Friedkin, extraordinary and maverick director of cult films such as The French Connection, The Exorcist, Sorcerer, Cruising, To Live and Die in L.A. and Killer Joe. For the first time Friedkin opens up, leading audiences on a fascinating journey through the themes and stories that have influenced his life and artistic career.

Thanks to an "all-star" cast of friends and collaborators (including Francis Ford Coppola, Quentin Tarantino, Willem Dafoe, Wes Anderson, Matthew McConaughey, Ellen Burstyn, Michael Shannon and Juno Temple, among others), we uncover stories, anecdotes and discuss what it really means to be an artist to celebrate the one and only Billy Friedkin and the fun and passion of making art.
