Lost Songs: The Basement Tapes Continued (2014)
Insightful doc on the creative process
2 March 2020 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
The documentary shows how each of the musicians tackles the task of creating songs from lyrics and poems unearthed from Bob Dylan archives-each with a different creative process and the attendant struggles of measuring up against the other songwriters in the room. The film casts some in a positive light (Mumford and Goldsmith coaxing a brilliant performance out of Giddens) and shows some in a negative light, as when Costello and James become schoolyard bullies, ridiculing some of the musicians. Overall, the viewer can see how the group jells and plays to each others' strengths, and the musical performances are tremendous.
