Film Comment Selects presents An Evening with Jonathan Demme and Neil Young Trunk Show  

  • Neil_young_trunk_show_3_thumb2_large

With his Marley doc sure to set theaters ablaze in less than a month, Jonathan Demme drops by the Walter Reade with his second ode (of a planned trio) to Neil Young. Before the 82-minute documentary roars on screen, Demme muses on the experience of making this film and those past or to come. Shot in HD, Neil Young Trunk Show captures the electric songwriter as he cycles through a dozen-plus tracks at a Pennsylvania theater for Chrome Dreams II. There's much to absorb during these "scenes from a concert" (as it's subtitled), from Eric Johnson's improvised, song-specific paintings to Young ripping off a 20-minute "No Hidden Path."
