Preview Clip of Neil Young Journeys: New Jonathan Demme Film
UPDATE: 9/13/11 - Report from TIFF of Neil Young Journeys Film Premiere
Here's a clip of the upcoming film Neil Young Journeys. (Also, titled Neil Young Life).
As we reported earlier, Jonathan Demme's third Neil Young concert film will debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
Demme's final installment in his concert film trilogy was shot last May over two nights at Massey Hall in Toronto.
From TIFF 2011 Films - Neil Young Life:
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 Life, 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 neighbours and their daughters. As he drives past bulldozers transforming the landscape, he remarks, “It’s all gone… it’s still in my head.”
