Listen to Me Marlon gets one big interview from, perhaps the only person who truly knew Marlon Brando enough to know just how he thought at any given time -- Marlon Brando himself. Made with the blessing of the Brando estate, culled from hundreds of hours worth of audio cassette tapes Brando recorded privately for his own self-analysis over many years, Stevan Riley's documentary mixes a vast array of snippets and sound bites to try to form a complete picture on the reclusive actor's thought process relating to a wide array of subjects, from his approach to acting, his opinions on some of the films he had made, his philosophy on women, his upbringing with an abusive and largely unsupportive father, his adulation of the island and people of Tahiti, people in the industry he either admired or didn't see eye to eye with, race relations, and of life and death itself.
