" Director: Jonathan Demme His 8th Movie. My 14th movie watched from the director. I finally get the chance to watch this legendary concert film.

Strong choice for the first film of the year! Added to Lists: Inspiration for "Documentary Now" Best Music Documentaries Best Performance Documentaries "
