Man on the run to Film festival
New documentary on McCartney – Man on the run
The fifty-second Telluride Film Festival in Colorado (runs Friday, August 29 through Monday, September 1, 2025) have announced their programme, and lo and behold, Morgan Neville’s documentary on Paul McCartney gets its premiere Saturday. Here’s what the festival writes:
In one of the most surprising sequences yet seen in a music biography, Paul McCartney, then 28 years old, is fixing up a remote, dilapidated Scottish farmhouse. He tends to sheep, cuddles with his wife, Linda,
and their two little girls, and plays music in the barn into a four-track recorder. Morgan Neville (TWENTY FEET FROM STARDOM, WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR?, PIECE BY PIECE) offers a new take on one of history’s most documented humans, overturning much of what we’ve learned about Sir Paul (who served as executive producer). With full access to Paul’s journals, Linda’s wonderful photos and the notoriously evasive man himself (who sat for seven interviews), Neville provides a stirring, sharp-eyed and deeply pleasurable corrective to the standard McCartney narrative (no, he didn’t break up The Beatles!). We take a journey with a thoughtful, endlessly inventive soul who, post-Fab Four, challenged himself to grow.
The film runs 115 minutes and the director will be there in person.
Allen Klein broke up the Beatles. No one else.
McCartney’s version of events is VERY well documented. I would be very much surprised if this film/book will deviate in any way from the heavily trodden paths …
¡Cómo le duele a McCartney reconocer que su ambición personal y económica, por encima de otras razones de sobra conocidas, rompió a los Beatles John y George apostaron por seguir. Cuatro canciones para cada uno por álbum y los que se facturen dn solitario. Paul contestó a aquella oferta con McCartney I (que ya lo tdnía listo) y el famoso comunicafo de prensa. McCartney se aprovevha de lo poco que hablan los muertos y lo tranquilo que es y siempre hs sido Ringo.
