(8.3) Another music documentary on tap at the Cable Car; this time it’s Neil Young Journeys directed by Jonathan Demme.
In May of 2011, Neil Young drove a 1956 Crown Victoria from his idyllic hometown of Omemee, Ontario to downtown Toronto’s iconic Massey Hall where he performed the last two nights of his solo world tour. Along the drive, Young recounted insightful and introspective stories from his youth. Filmmaker Jonathan Demme, a long-time fan and collaborator, captured these tales of Young’s childhood and masterfully wove them together with his mesmerizing music.
Music includes “Ohio,” “Love and War,” “Hitchhiker,” and “I Believe in You.” Young’s intense performances are presented in full, along with passages from the funny and sometimes wistful ride into town. Running time 87 minutes. (NYT Critics’ Pick)
