George Harrison: Living in the Material World

Martin Scorsese:
George Harrison: Living in the Material World (USA, 2011)
199 min. - English

John Lennon once said that inside George Harrison lives a mystery that has to be peeled like an onion, one layer at a time. One of the world's most acclaimed directors, Oscar-winner Martin Scorsese took on a huge load when he started to map the Beatle guitarist's mystical life. The end product is an unbelievable documentary, George Harrison: Living in the Material World, that will be remembered as one of the most thorough and succesful biographies in the field of music.

George Harrison: Living in the Material World is every Beatle fan's dream come true. Scorsese seems to achieve the unachievable – he makes the three-hour documentary feel too short almost. The film is full of previously unreleased archive material and interviews that Scorsese juxtaposed brilliantly, giving flight to Harrison's story. In the film, the key figures from Ringo Starr to Yoko Ono and Paul McCartney to Eric Clapton discuss freely about their lives with George. In addition to his musical career, Scorsese gives light to Harrison's spiritual side, his relationship with India and the soulfulness that also radiates from his songs. Living in the Material World has the aura of a classic – one quiets down in front of it.

George Harrison: Living in the Material World has its Finnish premiere in Rokumentti.
