Unscripted Interview: Demme & Young

A fun little interview between Neil Young and director Jonathan Demme is up on Unscripted @ Sundance '06.



The interview takes place at the Sundance Film Festival for the premiere of "Heart of Gold". "Neil Young, reveals two things: how he channels Hank Williams in 'Heart of Gold,' and his secret, unrequited love of Good & Plenty candy."



Demme asks Neil about "Bernard Shakey" -- his "nom du cinema".



Neil comments on how playing Hank Williams guitar and Demme remarks about Neil seemed to adapt the persona.



As the interview concludes, Neil remarks off-camera on why the program is called "Unscripted" when they're both reading the questions?



More interviews with Neil Young, Neil Young films and his collaborations with film director Jonathan Demme.
