In the mid 1960's, in the UK, an underground movement began which changed a generation. A group of radicals united, because they were sick and tired of the norm, and wanted to shake things up a bit. The documentary, Going Underground (Paul McCartney, The Beatles and the UK Counter Culture), explores this explosive scene, as well as some of the bands, that helped shape it. Paul McCartney and John Lennon, at separate times, help push this movement into the mainstream. The late Syd Barrett (Pink Floyd) did his part as well. This film dives into this scene, and exposes it, and the bands, that help shape it.
Going Underground, was a very an entertaining film, even though it didn't focus on The Beatles, as much as advertised. The film focuses not only on The Beatles, but it also takes a look at Pink Floyd, as well as art rock band AMM. This was a very interesting doc, that will hold your interest, from beginning to end and that is a tough feat, especially with this thing, clocking in over 2hrs.
Bottom Line: An interesting look into the Avant Guard movement of the mid to late 60's in England. An informative and entertaining documentary.
-Ragman, liked this one better, than he thought.
