Brando’s innermost thoughts on ‘Listen to Me Marlon’ BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH The 2015 documentary “Listen to Me Marlon” (9 p.m. Saturday, Showtime, TV-MA) offers an “intimate” portrait in every sense of the word. The most acclaimed actor of his generation, Marlon Brando fiercely guarded his privacy. The star of classic films including “A Streetcar Named Desire,” “On the Waterfront,” “The Godfather” and “Apocalypse Now” went so far as to refuse an Oscar for “The Godfather” and send an unknown Native American woman to offer a speech in his place. He lived for years on an island near Tahiti, preferring splendid isolation to Hollywood celebrity. Unbeknownst to the public, Brando accumulated a mass of confessional audiotapes. Sitting alone with a recorder, he poured out his innermost thoughts about acting, his troubled upbringing, his artistic mother and bullying father, their alcoholism and his inner turmoil. He reflects on his sexual bravado of the 1950s, his film triumphs and film failures, as well as his thoughts on life, death, acting and more. “Listen” marries these extraordinary recordings with a wealth of newsreel footage, TV interviews, news clips and scenes from Brando’s movies — good and bad. The result is as mesmerizing as it is illuminating. It’s a little like meeting the most chronicled movie star for the very first time. Sometimes Brando sounds like he’s talking to a therapist. At other moments it’s like a conversation with a lover. And in some moments his voiceover recalls Col. Kurtz from “Apocalypse Now,” the haunted, hunted madman at the center of the film. • Because the morbidity of “CSI” is so dated, the imported and dubbed French comedy “Spotless” (10 p.m. Saturday, Esquire) stars Marc-Andre Grondin as a crime-scene cleaner trying to live a normal life with his wife and kids, when his brother (Denis Menochet) returns to embroil him in his life of crime. Contrived, in any language. • The beauty of setting your story in a post-apocalyptic world centuries in the future
stroys all vestiges of civilization but leaves old Victrola record players behind? Perhaps when you have a plot that is lacking in subtlety, you need a little confusion to provide mystery.
SATURDAY’S HIGHLIGHTS
MPTV / COURTESY OF SHOWTIME
In this archival still from the Showtime documentary “Listen To Me Marlon” airing at 9 p.m. today, Marlon Brando is shown at his Beverly Glen home in Los Angeles in 1953. is that you can make up as many complicated rules as you want. At the outset of the martial arts series “Into the Badlands” (10 p.m. Sunday, AMC, TV-14), we’re told that the world was pretty much destroyed until a number of “Barons” created rival protectorate fiefdoms where most people toil as slaves in the Barons’ poppy fields. As in every such movie since “Mad Max,” guns have pretty much been eliminated, leaving the Barons to police their slaves with an order of Samurais called Clippers. These sword-wielding, kickboxing masters are adept at breaking bones and snapping necks. Stick around for 45 seconds and you’ll see (and hear) more than your fill. Daniel Wu stars as Sunny, the Head Clipper, or at least, the most adept swordsman. He was discovered and raised by Quinn (Marton Csokas), a Baron who dresses like some 19th-century plantation owner or Brooklyn hipster, or both. He’s married to Lydia (Orla Brady), who doesn’t seem too upset that Quinn is taking another, younger bride. Hey, he’s a Baron and that means he can behave like some retro-Mormon patriarch
and spread his Big Love around. Besides, Lydia is more partial to grooming their thoroughly horrible son Ryder (Oliver Stark) to take over the family business. Quinn is preoccupied with headaches, his opium pipe and his new bride. Into this “Dallas”-on-thepoppy-fields comes M.K. (Aramis Knight), a foundling child who exhibits mystical martial arts skills similar to Sunny’s. He also wears an amulet (that looks like a trinket from a souvenir shop), indicating he may have come from a far-off land beyond the Badlands, a past (or is it a future?) that beckons to Sunny. Much like a comic book, “Badlands” moves at a fast pace. Action takes precedence over the stilted dialogue as well as the acting, which takes a backseat to martial arts malarkey. The contrivances of the plot left me with so many questions: If we live in a steampunk future, why does Quinn’s estate look like a generic McMansion in some subdivision? Why do rival Barons (and Baronesses) drive in 1947 Packards, but Sunny gets to zip around on a shiny new motorcycle? And what kind of apocalypse de-
