AMAZING GRACE

(dir. Alan Elliott, Sydney Pollack, G) Without a doubt one of the finest films of the year, this astonishing documentary, rescued from certain doom by a dedicated team of preservationists, reveals the images captured during the recording of Aretha Franklin’s iconic live gospel album, Amazing Grace. Featuring more spine-tingling moments of transcendence than you could wave a microphone at, Amazing Grace documents the finest soul singer of all time at the height of her powers, in ways uplifting and profoundly moving.
