HBO’s Documentary “FAYE” to Premiere at Cannes Film Festival

Hollywood legend Faye Dunaway is set to take center stage in the upcoming HBO Original documentary, “FAYE,” directed and produced by Laurent Bouzereau. The film is slated to make its world premiere at the esteemed 2024 Cannes Film Festival before hitting HBO and streaming on HBO Max later this year.

In the documentary “FAYE,” actress Faye Dunaway, who won an Academy Award® and is well-known for her classic roles in movies like “Bonnie & Clyde,” “Chinatown,” and “Network,” talks candidly about the highs and lows of her celebrated career. While openly considering her breakthrough roles and her 1977 Best Actress victory for “Network,” Dunaway also talks about the movie “Mommie Dearest,” which she views as a crucial error in her career.

The documentary delves deeper into Dunaway’s personal life, including her problems with mental health and bipolar disease, as well as her upbringing in a tiny town in Florida. Dunaway bravely investigates how the intensity of the characters she plays has affected her identity over time.

“FAYE” features intimate interviews with Dunaway’s son, Liam Dunaway O’Neill, shedding light on their relationship, as well as insights from her colleagues and friends, such as Sharon Stone, Mickey Rourke, and James Gray.

Produced by Amblin Documentaries in association with Nedland Media, “FAYE” is a poignant exploration of one of Hollywood’s most enduring talents. Laurent Bouzereau serves as director and producer, alongside producers Markus Keith, Justin Falvey, and Darryl Frank. The documentary is edited by Jason Summers, with Tyler Strickland composing the music and Travers Jacobs, Chris Johnson, and Toby Thiermann serving as directors of photography.

For HBO Documentary Films, Nancy Abraham, Lisa Heller, and Sara Rodriguez serve as executive producers, further solidifying HBO’s commitment to delivering compelling and thought-provoking content.
