Soul Power *****


Director: Jeffrey Levy-Hinte
Year: 2008
Cinematographers/Camera Operators: Paul Goldsmith, Kevin Keating, Albert Maysles, Roderick Young

A great music festival documentary, beautifully photographed, with great personalities coming through on their own. I was totally fascinated and ready to sit through the full set lists of all the artists, disappointingly only a few extra performances were included as extras on the DVD, but hopefully in the future there will be more.

As far as concert films go, I think this is actually better-made than Woodstock, although arguably less important historically. So maybe I would put this as my second favorite concert film of all time. Seriously, excellent.
