JAKARTA - Good news for The Beatles fans. The latest documentary film that highlights Paul McCartney's life journey after the Fab Four disbanded - titled Paul McCartney: Man On The Run - will be shown on the big screen.
The film is scheduled to be shown exclusively in global cinemas for one night only on February 19. This limited screening is the opening before the film officially airs on the Prime Video streaming platform on February 27.
Directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville, the documentary chronicles McCartney's transformative decade during the 1970s, as he rebuilt his musical career with Wings.
Viewers will be treated to an emotional narrative about how McCartney overcame depression after the bitter breakup of The Beatles in 1970, until he finally returned to the peak of glory through the masterpiece "Band On The Run".
Each screening in theaters will include bonus content in the form of an in-depth conversation between McCartney and Morgan Neville that will not be available in the streaming version.
The film not only relies on new interviews, but also delves into previously unpublished archives. The documentary is also enriched with video footage and photos taken by Paul's late wife, Linda McCartney.
In the footage that has been released, McCartney honestly revealed his fragility at that time. "I felt very depressed, but I was very lucky, because I had Linda," he said.
The phrase illustrates how crucial Linda's role is in saving the mental health and career of the musician.
In addition to the family aspect, Man On The Run also explores the dynamics of Paul's relationship with John Lennon who had strained. Despite being plagued by great internal conflicts, Paul still insists on their brotherhood that is timeless.
"We had fights and did all that, but we loved each other all our lives," Paul recalled of his complex relationship with Lennon.
This narrative is further strengthened by the presence of key sources such as Sean Ono Lennon, Mick Jagger, to Chrissie Hynde who provide a broad perspective on the influence of Wings in the global rock music scene.
For information, tickets for this one-night special screening will go on sale on February 4 via the film's official website.
