The Agony And Ecstasy Of Phil Spector (2008x8)

: 25, 2008

In a career stretching 50 years, legendary music producer Phil Spector has avoided a substantial interview - until now. Spector transformed rock'n'roll, becoming the first music producer to be a star in his own right. In 2007, he was put on trial after being accused of murdering LA nightclub hostess Lana Clarkson. The trial ended in a hung jury and was reopened in October 2008, once again threatening to eclipse Spector's musical legacy. Taken from an exclusive interview filmed in March 2007, the film dissects Spector's songs from the perspective of his inner world, focusing a spotlight on a unique creative process that is, for the first time, explained by its author.
