Anyone who has kicked around Hollywood as long as Hampton Fancher is bound to have some good stories. Director Michael Almereyda and Executive Producer Wes Anderson capture them in this marvelously discursive deep dive into the life and career of an entertainment industry journeyman. Though best known for scripting Blade Runner, Fancher got his start as an actor in the late 1950s, appearing in numerous B-movies, TV westerns, and cop shows throughout the 60s and 70s. Weaving together clips from Fancher’s work with the star’s own colorful anecdotes, Escapes is a retro-fantastic tour through mid-20th-century pop culture as related by a singularly engaging raconteur.
