Living on Soul

About This Movie

Living on Soul captures a moment in time at the Apollo Theater, blending documentary and concert film in a way that feels raw and alive. The pacing is reflective, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of the performances while giving glimpses into the lives of the Daptone Records artists. Sharon Jones' presence is magnetic, and Charles Bradley's soulful delivery adds layers to the film. There's something about the practical effects, the way the stage lights wash over the audience, that brings a realness to the experience. It’s not just a concert; it’s a celebration of a community and a sound that’s deeply rooted in soul and funk. Definitely a film that resonates with those who appreciate music's power and history.
