“I want to go and follow the music, but you never know what you’re going to find along the way.” Another new official trailer has debuted for the documentary film titled In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon, the latest from Alex Gibney following his docs on The Forever Prisoner, and Boris Becker. This first premiered at the 2023 Toronto & London Film Festivals last fall, and is already streaming on MGM+ in the US (though we missed this when it first dropped). The film follows Paul Simon inside the studio making his new album Seven Psalms while looking back on his six-decade career with countless musical peaks from Sounds of Silence to Graceland. Gibney’s In Restless Dreams is supposedly the definitive musical biography of Paul Simon, one of the greatest songwriters (and performers as well) in the history of rock ‘n roll. It’s yet another one of these music docs that is a mix between promoting his new album he’s been working on, and a quick look back at his entire career as a musician. He’s got plenty of good stories to tell about music. Enjoy.
