This is a portrait of Ethan Russell, who shot many of the album covers and images of rock and roll icons that are burned into out memories.
Transcending the typical documentary of a photographer to become something greater, LET IT BE, LET IT BLEED.... is not just about Russll and is subjects, but the time he shot the pictures. Russell gives us context for everything. Nothing happens in a vacuum and as a result our world opens up. His images and the people in them take on a greater meaning.
I loved this film. This is not only one of the best biographies I've seen but one of the best music docs.
You must see this.
Highly recommended.
