A feel-good treat for Frisell's legion of fans.
"A Portrait" may not make Frisell's biography fascinating, but it does give the proper due to a guitarist whose music flows like water into any handy vessel.
Much applause to Franz for recognizing that and emphasizing above all else what Frisell will be remembered for: that sound, those songs, those bands, that habit of listening.
The movie is at its liveliest when it depicts Mr. Frisell making his distinctive sound with a variety of colleagues. And, fortunately, Ms. Franz includes a lot of such footage.
This movie is not going to pull you along: rather, you have to be willing to sit with Bill and his friends and listen to the music carefully.
Bill Frisell: A Portrait presents an exceptionally talented artist who is able to pursue whatever direction his genius takes him.
