“I’m looking for the edge of what you can hear.”~Paul Simon

Aroview: The definitive musical biography about one of the most gifted singer-songwriters of his generation. Now in his early eighties, Paul Simon is captured at work on his new album ‘Seven Psalms’ while looking back on his six-decade career with countless musical peaks from Sounds of Silence to Graceland.

Told in two parts over three-and-a-half hours, the film offers unprecidented insight into his fastidious working methods, though it’s his phase of work with Art Garfunkel in the 1960’s that is particularly affecting, with song after song that simply crush you with their beauty.
