剧情简介
The legendary singer has finally received the major portrait film he deserves. Oscar winner Alex Gibney unravels Paul Simon's life's work, from his time with Art Garfunkel to solo highlight 'Graceland' to his latest album. ‘His music floats around you, enters your lungs, and suddenly you’re breathing through the songs.’ The Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney is speaking about Paul Simon, whom he has been given exclusive access to while the 82-year-old musician is recording his latest album, ‘Seven Psalms’. Through a goldmine of photographs, interviews and never-before-seen footage, Gibney unravels the many iconic moments, from Simon Garfunkel’s early days to their reunion concert in front of 750,000 people in Central Park. ‘In Restless Dreams’ is the portrait of Paul Simon he has always deserved. We will screen the film once during CPH:DOX and transform the Bremen Theatre into Rufaro Stadium in Zimbabwe in 1986, when both the film and Simon’s career culminate in an unforgettable concert.
观众心声
Graceland从倒数45分钟开始（整个三小时多）。讲到Rhythm of the Saints结束，其实后面还有Capeman音乐剧这个很多话题的内容可以讲。整体穿插2021年新作叙述。Simon & Garfunkel的纠葛占了很大的篇幅，并没有更深入。以前最热衷这些音乐的时候的我和现在很不一样，现在回顾了这么多耳熟的音乐。I love Graceland even more. 个人觉得Paul Simon is always a little bit political但出发点都是他想要用音乐表达而不是从政治出发。然而还是受不了Edie Brickell比他小20多岁。即使两人现在都年纪大了也感觉60不到和80多差距太大
3个小时多的传记纪录片... 肯定流水帐啦，可以精简的。3星及格分
‘Without friction there’s no motion. The universe was set with an explosion. And man, from that friction, everything came. His music is always about that’ ‘What I’ve learned, after all of these years, is that when you find a thing that produces a feeling of peace or joy, try and extend it, try and hold on to it. It’s like bliss. There’s no more.’

8.8 要從何說起好？這永遠是寫曲時最重要的問題。我要的聲音是什麼？就如那老套的笑話，吉他手花半輩子幫吉他調音，剩下半輩子吉他彈走音；我做了一個夢，夢裡說「你會寫出一首歌，叫《詩篇七首》」我已經有好幾年沒寫歌了，也沒想過要寫。那夢境太清晰了，我睡醒後做了筆記，完全搞不懂是什麼意思。可是慢慢的，訊息越來越多。我往往儘量讓音樂流動，是那種流動的感覺讓人墜入夢中。如果你願意進入夢境空間，便能放下批判思考。就像在冥想，進入腦海的思緒會變得純粹。 因爲這旋律是夢到的，我很有耐心去做這段音樂。每週有兩三天我會在凌晨醒來，腦海浮現歌詞便寫下來。我心想一切順其自然，它會自己出現，我只需要等待靈感，把祂當作自己要處理的資訊。尤其這歌是講精神層面的，本來就不會太輕鬆，本該歷經險阻，才能對自己的表述有更深的體會。
