Topol: On Top of the World
Overview
Through a personal archive and portraits he painted throughout his life, the film returns to the moments he chose, and to those in which he almost missed the roles of his life. From them, a much more complex man than the charismatic star he is known for is revealed. An actor, inventor, and institution figure, who began to direct more and more of his energy elsewhere, away from the spotlight.
