Part two describes Fuller's experiences in World War II, in which he participated as a soldier. The last section focuses on Fuller as director.

But the first time he clasped the famous statuette in his hand was a half-century earlier when his Technicolor camerawork was awarded for Powell and Pressburger's Black Narcissus. Beyond John Huston's The African Queen and King Vidor's War and Peace, the films of the British-Hungarian creative duo (The Red Shoes and A Matter of Life and Death too) guaranteed immortality for the renowned cameraman whose career spanned seventy years.—Karlovy Vary International Film Festival

Movie Details Click Here!Storyline: There was an additional dvd with the PAL version of KUNDUN and it contained the trailers and a mini documentary of the filming of the movie KUNDUN, along with interviews with Martin Scorcese and the cast. There was footage from an all together differnet perspective - shot while the film was being shot - of the scenes being shot which offers a unique and enlightening perspective, especially for those interested in the craft of film making. But, the "A la Rechercher de KUNDUN avec Martin Scorcese" was more background into the making of the film. Subtitles on the disc are in Danish and French, so I'm not too sure. This DVD contains several features besides the ones mentioned here.
