About This Movie

Van Morrison: Under Review: 1964-1974 is this interesting deep dive into the early years of Morrison’s career. It’s more of a mosaic than a straight documentary, mixing live performances, interviews, and some rare footage. The pacing meanders, allowing you to soak up the atmosphere of the era. You really get a sense of the evolution of his sound and the cultural backdrop of the 60s and early 70s. It's got this raw, intimate feel that captures not just the music but the very essence of Morrison as an artist. Themes of love, loss, and artistry are woven throughout, making it a unique exploration of a pivotal decade in music history.

This film has seen limited releases, making it somewhat of a collector's curiosity. Various formats have come and gone, with the DVD editions becoming harder to find over time. There's a niche interest in Morrison's catalog and his early work, so this title garners attention from dedicated collectors looking to explore more than just the hits.
