All Together Now: A Documentary Film (2008)

This Best Buy exclusive is a behind the scenes documentary that showcases the creation of Cirque Du Soleil's LOVE show. While I'm disappointed that there is not more footage of the actual show, the documentary is still amazing. Of course, the soundtrack is brilliant. It's remarkable the craftsmanship and respect that the creators of Cirque have. How George Harrison befriended the creators is addressed--that's pretty cool. They met over a love of motorcar racing.

During the course of the film, we meet the cast of the show as their learn parts, see the creators interpret and then try to obtain approval from the remaining Beatles, Olivia Harrison and Yoko Ono Lennon. It's a beautiful, stressful time for all.

For me, the real gem is Sir George Martin and his son dissecting the reworking of the Beatles' master recordings.

If anything, All Together Now will have you thankful that the Beatles and their respective spouses, friends, etc, have maintained such control over the band's legacy. It makes things like this high caliber and all the more precious.
