Movie Report
About Movie: Neil Young Journeys is an upcoming Documentary movie. A documentary movie about the singer-songwriter through concert footage. This past May, Neil Young brought his solo tour to Toronto's Massey Hall, an iconic venue in the city of his birth. Jonathan Demme was on hand to capture the two nights, which highlighted new songs from the album Le Noise, produced by Daniel Lanois, mixed with classics like "Ohio" and "I Believe in You." At sixty-five, Young retains a youthful vitality and musical curiosity that balances his wisdom and experience. It's no wonder he's been an inspiration to the likes of Pearl Jam and Sonic Youth. In Neil Young Journeys, Demme intersperses the Massey Hall concert footage with brief scenes from a road trip through Ontario. Driving a 1956 Ford Crown Victoria, Young visits the rural town of Omemee, where he spent a key part of his formative years, and reminisces about his former neighbors and their daughters. As he drives past bulldozers transforming the landscape, he remarks, 'It's all gone... it's still in my head.
Movie Review:- Jonathan Demme's third concert film with Neil Young, Neil Young Journeys, is a solo affair for which the singer's in excellent voice and a contemplative mood. There's nothing all that revealing about the stories, but Young has always been a somewhat remote presence. With his relentless dark gaze, straight-edged mouth and mournful wail.
Direction, Performance and Music:- Young performs on a smartly decorated stage, with crinkled backdrops evoking stained glass, a wooden Indian standing beside an organ, and a couple of acoustic pianos to alternate with Young's guitars.
Overall:- Good Movis.
