An ineffable mix of unbridled joy and vérité realism, this film presents the beloved Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Leon Russell as filmed by documentarian Les Blank. Letting us into the intimate world of Russell, Blank’s camera captures off-the-cuff moments and combines them with mesmerizing scenes of Russell and his band performing live. A singular film about a singular artist that never got an official release and has since attained a legendary cult status. Now, after more than forty years, it can finally be seen in all its rough beauty.
