Harrison by Scorsese, straks på video
Datum: 2011-10-09

Mye tyder på at Martin Scorsese har gjort det igjen. Bidratt til å belyse en viktig del av rockhistorien. Slik han gjorde det i 2005 med Bob Dylan-dokumentaren »No Direction Home«.

Nye »Living in the Material World«, som handler om livet og karrieren til The Quiet Beatle, George Harrison, hadde premiere på HBO i uka som gikk, og over neste uke er filmen også tilgjengelig på DVD og Blueray.

Også denne gangen tar Scorsese seg god tid med sitt objekt, filmen ble sendt over to kvelder på HBO og varer tre timer og tretti minutter.
Her er litt blurp om dokumentaren:

Directed by Martin Scorsese, George Harrison - Living in the Material World is a stunning double-feature-length film tribute to one of music's greatest icons.

Scorsese uses never-before-seen footage from George Harrison's childhood, throughout his years with The Beatles, through the ups and downs of his solo career, and through the joys and pain of his private life, to trace the arc of George's journey from his birth in 1943 to his passing in 2001. Living in the Material World features private home videos, photos and never before heard tracks to chronicle the incredible story of the extraordinary man.

Despite its epic reach, the film is deeply personal. Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Yoko Ono, Olivia and Dhani Harrison, among many others, talk openly about George's many gifts and contradictions and reveal the lives they shared together. In every aspect of his professional, personal and spiritual life, until his final hours, George blazed his own path.

As his friend John Lennon once said: »George himself is no mystery. But the mystery inside George is immense. It's watching him uncover it all little by little that's so damn interesting.«
