Bogart: Life Comes in Flashes

Few actors embody the heyday of Hollywood as powerfully as Humphrey Bogart. The Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, The African Queen and more are all timeless classics. Bogart: Life Comes in Flashes is the first-ever documentary about the star supported by his heirs. Following their refreshing look at Sinéad O'Connor in Nothing Compares (FFG2022), director Kathryn Ferguson reunites with cinematographer Eleanor Emptage and mechanic Mick Mahon. They explore Bogart's journey to eternal fame through relationships with his mother and four women. All were key figures in his life but - with the exception of Lauren Bacall - were previously reduced to footnotes. Bacall and Bogart's children granted unprecedented access to hundreds of hours of rare audio tapes and home movies. With the help of a gifted voice actor, you can hear Bogart himself telling his story.
