PARTING WORDS: “Amazing Grace”
The documentary “Amazing Grace,” the filmed version of an Aretha Franklin concert in a black church, was originally filmed in 1972 by Sidney Pollack. The problem—lack of synchronization between image and sound—that prevented the project from being completed, has finally been fixed thanks to digital technology. That which gives us a superb and moving moment of music and film history and demonstrates once more that Aretha Franklin herself is both amazing and grace personified.
“Amazing Grace” came out on December 7th, 2018.
