I was just reading the Paul Simon entry on Wikipedia and saw mentioned that a filmmaker called Jeremy Marre has made 2 films about Paul-one about Graceland,and the other about The Capeman. I had never heard about this. I suppose they were independent films and released with little fanfare,but I would have thought I´d have heard about them before now. Has anyone seen either of these films,and are they available commercially? Thank you.

The film about the making of Graceland is available on DVD (or it was). The one about the Capeman could have been the one shown on Channel four a few years ago called A Roll Of The Dice....not sure who made that though.

I think the director of A Roll of the Dice is indeed the same as the Graceland. Someone posted it here a while ago, with the DVD cover, etc. That´s where I got to see it.

Some excerpts are now on YouTube as well.

BTW there is another one - it´s called PS Omnibus Solo 1989. It´s an hour long. I have a video of it - with strange German (or smth) subtitles, which disturb me a lot cause it´s right on the picture.
Though i´ve just downloaded this DVD, the only thing that it´s in Russian (in fact it´s the TV-programme about PS which i had watched a year ago and was searching for it ever since that time), but i wanted to watch and listen to PS without any comments :))
Anyway i can share it with you, Ian - the English version with annoying subtitles :)
Cheers, Paul

The subtitles are Dutch Paul.

There exists even a German synchronization for that one...well, Paul was famous 20 years ago or so... :)

Thanks everyone for your helpful answers. The Graceland documentary,is it part of the ´Classic Albums´ series? If so,I do already have that one,but the Capeman one I have never seen. Paul,I have the Omnibus special too,sans the subtitles. I would be glad to send you a copy,or as a trade for a copy of ´Roll of the Dice´. I´ll send you an email later today Paul. Thanks again.

Hi Ian. I have the download links voor the Graceland doc, but I don´t know if it´s legal to post it here

... I am not sure whether dutch people should judge what´s legal and what not :o)

Just kidding, I have been in Amsterdam last weekend and enjoyed it very much... especially the half-legal stuff ;o)

Sorry for posting off-topic, I just couldn´t resist...

Let me guess, you were lonesome so you took some comfort there (the mardi grass, not the whores I assume :))

Thanks for the offer Manus,but I do have the Graceland doco after all. It´s an episode of the first series of the ´Classic Albums´ show. That´s what threw me I think. There may be others that could use the links though.
