Sunday night in Lodon held the UK Premiere for brand new movie, George Harrison: Living in the Material World which is directed by the fabulous Martin Scorsese. It’s a biopic based on the life of Harrison who rose to fame after being in a band you may have heard of called The Beatles!
Scorsese was present at the UK premiere along with Sir Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and many other well known celebrities. Our friends from Upbeat were present at the premiere and caught up with many of the filmmamkers.
The 3 and a half hour documentary uses interviews with Eric Clapton?, Terry Gilliam?, Eric Idle?, George Martin?, Paul McCartney?, Yoko Ono?, Tom Petty?, Phil Spector?, Ringo Starr? and Jackie Stewart? to look at a life of a fascinating man.
We’ve posted a list of cinemas that are showing the documentary that you can see here. Understandably, the movie won’t go on general release but will be available on DVD and Blu-ray 10th October and you can order your copy here.
GEORGE HARRISON: LIVING IN THE MATERIAL WORLD focuses the imaginative and inspired eye of one of cinema’s most preeminent filmmakers on one of the world’s most influential men. The film takes viewers on the musical and spiritual voyage that was George Harrison’s life, much of it told in his own words. The result is deeply moving and touches each viewer in unique and individual ways. Academy Award®-winning director Martin Scorsese traces Harrison’s life from his musical beginnings in Liverpool through his life as a musician, a seeker, a philanthropist and a filmmaker, weaving together interviews with Harrison and his closest friends, performances, home movies and photographs. Much of the material in the film has never been seen or heard before. The result is a rare glimpse into the mind and soul of one of the most talented artists of his generation and a profoundly intimate and affecting work of cinema.
