A documentary shot in 1972 by director Sydney Pollack capturing the recording of Aretha Franklin's gospel album 'Amazing Grace' will move into nationwide release Easter weekend.
Aretha Franklin records her gospel album"Amazing Grace" at the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles in 1972. The long unfinished documentary about the recording will be shown nationally for the first time in April.
It received rapturous reviews during one-week Academy Award qualifying runs in Los Angeles and New York last winter.last year. “It’s also a captivating artifact, the rare making-of documentary that doesn’t just comment on but completely merges with its subject. The lift-you-to-the-rafters intensity of Franklin’s voice remains so pure and galvanic that ‘Amazing Grace’ is one of the few movies you could watch with your eyes closed, though you would hardly want to.
“I’ve been with Alan going through some of the ups and downs, and I feel as though the way things have happened, this is how it was supposed to happen,” said Tirrell Whittley, Elliott’s producing partner and founder and chief executive of Liquid Soul Media, an Atlanta marketing and promotion firm that specializes in arranging group screenings for African American audiences.
The performances were events in themselves, within the African American community and beyond. Jagger and Watts dropped in because they were in Los Angeles. A combination of technology that wasn’t available in 1972 and Elliott’s hiring of a lip-reader allowed him and a team of film technicians to create a coherent version of the film.
