The legendary singer has finally received the major portrait film he deserves. Oscar winner Alex Gibney unravels Paul Simon's life's work, from his time with Art Garfunkel to solo highlight 'Graceland' to his latest album.
‘His music floats around you, enters your lungs, and suddenly you’re breathing through the songs.’ The Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney is speaking about Paul Simon, whom he has been given exclusive access to while the 82-year-old musician is recording his latest album, ‘Seven Psalms’. Through a goldmine of photographs, interviews and never-before-seen footage, Gibney unravels the many iconic moments, from Simon & Garfunkel’s early days to their reunion concert in front of 750,000 people in Central Park. ‘In Restless Dreams’ is the portrait of Paul Simon he has always deserved. We will screen the film once during CPH:DOX and transform the Bremen Theatre into Rufaro Stadium in Zimbabwe in 1986, when both the film and Simon’s career culminate in an unforgettable concert.

In Restless Dreams: The Music Of Paul Simon @2024-11-29 00:37:11 —— S04Kumpel
关于paul simon可聊得太多了,比如那一段神秘的曼陀林声既可以是【忧郁河上的金桥】的结尾,也可以是【el condor pasa】的前奏。其实paul对南美音乐的涉猎从双人组时期就开始了,如今想来90年代对paul simon,david byrne,peter gabriel这三位过于苛责了。另外就是白人不写福音歌曲倒也罢了,写成的三首歌都成了世界级金曲:忧郁河上的金桥,U2的我没找到我想... —— redhousepainter
