Description:

This intimate documentary is a must-have for Bruce Springsteen fans, capturing a magical time in 1995 when the Boss and the E Street Band reunited in New York's Hit Factory for their first studio sessions in 11 years. During the recording of new songs for Springsteen's 1995 Greatest Hits release, filmmaker Ernie Fritz was given full access to the band's collaborative process, including the live music video performance of "Murder Incorporated" for filmmaker Jonathan Demme. While bandmates and studio personnel offer insights about their history under Springsteen's democratic leadership, two people make particularly memorable impressions. First, Springsteen's longtime producer- manager Jon Landau is seen as a benevolent guiding force, with eloquent opinions about the uniqueness of Springsteen's artistic vision. Then there is Springsteen, revealed here as a genuine working-class hero, playful and generous while remaining intensely focused on finding the perfect approach to each new song. --Jeff Shannon
