Alex Gibney's documentary on Paul Simon runs three-and-a-half hours, emphasizing the necessity of such depth in exploring Simon's artistry, vulnerabilities, and significant collaborations.
Simon’s choral album 'Seven Psalms' and historic partnership with Art Garfunkel are explored, revealing how their unique harmonies drew inspiration from the Everly Brothers and emerged amidst the 60s cultural scene.
The documentary delves into Simon's creative process in crafting songs such as 'The Sound of Silence' and 'Mrs. Robinson,' which resonated with the alienation of middle America during the counterculture movement.
Despite their reunion in 1981, the film illustrates the enduring personal tensions between Simon and Garfunkel, suggesting a lack of reconciliation beyond their celebrated success.
