Martin Scorsese’s mammoth music documentary George Harrison: Living in the Material World
has been widely hailed (including in these pages) for the breadth and cinematic skill with which it tackles the life of the so-called Quiet Beatle. But the bubble of approbation has been pricked by some very sharp critical sticks, variously objecting to the film as tediously long, riddled with gaps, or adulatory to the point of hagiography, simplifying and sentimentalizing a complex figure.In a probing recent entry in his IndieWire.com column Grey Matters, music, film, and culture writer Ian Grey takes Scorsese to task for a multitude of Harrison-related sins (while simultaneously celebrating his more recent feature, the sublime Hugo). In this edition of See It Loud, Grey joins MFW’s Andy Markowitz – who wrote one of those glowing reviews of Material World – to debate the doc’s merits and flaws and their relationship to Scorsese’s larger body of work, and to hate on Eric Clapton.
This podcast is about Martin Scorsese movies, so it should come as no surprise that it contains explicit language. The opening music by Los Musicos de Jose comes from Mevio’s Music Alley.
