Film Details

Shot between 1972 and 1974 but never released due to creative differences between filmmaker Les Blank and the movie’s subject Leon Russell, this long forgotten documentary is finally seeing the light of day. Regarded by Blank as his greatest feature, the movie captures singer-songwriter and Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Famer Russell at work and at play in his Oklahoma recording compound, a kind of commune visited by other artists and musicians. With Willie Nelson and George Jones. “A time capsule capturing the flavor of early-'70s bohemian life.” –Hollywood Reporter.
