Theatrical Release Information

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Perhaps the most widely read philosopher of the 20th century, Ayn Rand has delighted and infuriated people of all ideologies and, like it or not, has helped to create the political realities we deal with every day. With Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life you can follow her life story, from her childhood in the turbulent years of revolution in her native Russia to her great success as a popular writer and deep thinker in the United States. This comprehensive look at a fascinating woman uses interviews with friends and colleagues, family photos, clips of her speaking, and great moments from the films she wrote to portray a complex, passionate person with the brains to articulate her ideals and the guts to stand up for them. Trying to get work in 1930s Hollywood wasn't easy for such a rabid anti-Communist, but Rand persisted and the tales of her life in the theater, her lifelong relationship with actor Frank O'Connor, and her midlife career change from novelist to political philosopher are both inspiring and dramatic, just as she'd want them to be. --Rob Lightner

Product Description
A 1998 Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary Feature. The first authorized film to look at the life and work of the controversial Russian-born author, writer of such renowned novels as "The Fountainhead" and "Atlas Shrugged." Written, produced and directed by first-time helmer Michael Paxton, "Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life" is a flux of events, ideas, emotions and accomplishments--all combining to create a portrait of one woman's genius and point of view. Narrated by Emmy Award-winning actress Sharon Gless.
