Sinopsis(1)
"Cuando uno quiere hacer cine tiene que estar dispuesto a matar a su tía y llevarse su dinero", dice Menahem Golan en este espléndido documental sobre los dos primos israelíes que pusieron patas arriba la industria de Hollywood con más de 300 títulos producidos. The Go-Go Boys relata el auge y caída de Cannon Films, sus éxitos más memorables y la ruptura, profesional y personal, de sus dos fundadores. (Sitges Film Festival)

The Go-Go Boys is a documentary about cousins Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, who dominated Hollywood in the 1980s with their company Cannon Films, a factory of (mostly trashy) dreams, only to lose everything by the end of the decade. This magnificent and poignant film was made as the antithesis to the entertaining and mocking documentary about Cannon Films directed by Mark Hartley. By emphasising the personal accounts of the two producers, who refused to appear in Hartley’s film, this counter-documentary gains the appeal of a personal story and a portrait of a big dream, and it is charmingly non-judgmental. The Go-Go Boys is a captivating work about how big dreams and ambition can also be a facet of great art.
