In "The Soul of A Man," director Wim Wenders looks
at the dramatic tension in the blues between the sacred and the
profane by exploring the music and lives of three of his favorite
blues artists: Skip James, Blind Willie Johnson and J. B. Lenoir.
Part history, part personal pilgrimage, the film tells the story
of these lives in music through an extended fictional film sequence
(recreations of '20s and '30s events - shot in silent-film, hand-crank
style), rare archival footage, present-day documentary scenes
and covers of their songs by contemporary musicians such as Shemekia
Copeland, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Garland Jeffreys, Chris Thomas
King, Cassandra Wilson, Nick Cave, Los Lobos, Eagle Eye Cherry,
Vernon Reid, James "Blood" Ulmer, Lou Reed, Bonnie Raitt,
Marc Ribot, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Lucinda Williams
and T-Bone Burnett.
Says Wenders: "These songs meant the world to me. I felt
there was more truth in them than in any book I had read about
America, or in any movie I had ever seen. I've tried to describe,
more like a poem than in a 'documentary,' what moved me so much
in their songs and voices."
