Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talkin' About Him?) (2010)



Released September 10th in the US.
Filming location(s) unknown.
The story: Once upon a time, there was this quiet, insecure, very talented young man.
This young man wrote the most lovely songs but the problem was, getting the music out for the public to hear, as this young man was quite shy.
After some time of writing songs that the famous end up using in tv and movies, the young man gets the pleasure of meeting a few music producers and arrangers and well, you can imagine - but I'll tell ya , the young man now found a way to put his words to music and get them out for the public to eat up.
And that's just what they did.
From that point on, for many years to come, the young man - known as Harry, only went up, up, up in his career and made friends with some of the most famous, brilliant artists of the time.
Here we get to witness a lot of the extraordinary life and rise to fame and fortune of one of the most talented artists of the 70s, through archival footage, interviews with himself, his family, his friends that loved him and worked with him and the ones who are no longer with us.
