He wanted at some point to make his own anthology. His unexpected death in 2001 prevented him from it... George Harrison's wife did it! In October, Martin Scorsese will present a film - documentary about the former "beetle" entitled: " George Harrison: Living in the Material World". Olivia, Harrison's wife said the following about the film: "I'm fairly awed by what Marty has put together. It's a story that truly captures the essence of George."
The script of the documentary is based on the time when Harrison was in the Beatles and the years that came after in which the success of the group did not manage to fulfill his dreams. The film includes interviews with McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono, George Martin, Tom Petty, Eric Clapton etc. Scorsese says that Harrison wanted to find simplicity, a way to live honestly and compassionately. It was never a straight line, but this is not the essence. I think he realized that this thing called "success" does not really exist. There is only the path, the journey... The film has material with the Beatles on vacation, Harrison's collaboration with Ravi Shankar and amateur videos with him playing with his son Dhani. "George lived in the house for 30 years and always left things everywhere. Thus, even the cups had something of his.", said his wife Olivia. "We looked in London and New York to find photos and videos from interviews and more." We are looking forward to this film - documentary about George Harrison in October.
