Salinger

About the movie

For more than fifty years, the ever elusive author of The Catcher in the Rye has been the subject of a relentless stream of newspaper and magazine articles as well as several biographies. Yet all of these attempts have been hampered by a fundamental lack of access and by the persistent recycling of inaccurate information. Salinger remains, astonishingly, an enigma.
The first work to go beyond the Catcher in the Rye author’s meticulously built up wall, Shane Salerno’s documentary features interviews with friends and colleagues who have never before spoken on record as well as conversations with Philip Seymour Hoffman, Edward Norton, John Cusack, Martin Sheen, David Milch, Robert Towne, Tom Wolfe, E.L. Doctorow, Gore Vidal and Pulitzer Prize winners A. Scott Berg and Elizabeth Frank.
