Glad to know others are fascinated by these figures as well. I just caught WILD COMBINATION the other day. Can’t say much more except that I thought it was a beautiful portrait…incredibly moving.

I knew about the Scott Walker documentary but not the other two – all of them are of great interest to me as I enjoy the music of all three. I appreciate the information.

There have been quite a few music documentaries in the last few years, which shine a light on influential cult figures (Scott Walker, Joe Meek, Love/Arthur Lee, etc.) I will add WILD COMBINATION to the list.

I came rather late to the Arthur Russell bandwagon as well, at the time when the first reissues and compilations were appearing in 2004. It’s amazing to me that five years later, new material keeps trickling out. The diversity of his output, in the end, is what is truly startling to me.

Arthur was no longer the director but he was someone who showed up at every performance. I was sad to hear when he died of AIDS, but happy about this documentary. He was quiet, and so talented. Would love to be able to see this documentary.

I thought his year’s nominees for Best Doc were more impressive on the whole than the group of narrative films nominated for Best Picture. Too bad more attention is not paid to docs.
