George Harrison: Living in the Material World

George Harrison: Living in the Material World (2011), documentary. Directed by Martin Scorsese. Archival film, video, still photos, music and interviews are used by Scorsese to illustrate Harrison's life as a Beatle and later as a solo act. Extensive coverage goes to George's spiritual evolution and his involvement with Eastern religions. The second half of the movie (after he leaves the Beatles) tends to be slow in parts, but overall it's an excellent and moving portrait of Harrison, the "Beatle who changed the most." (The supplied subtitles are adequate. Closed captions are not furnished.) Grade: A-
