The Illuminaphonist
Synopsis
Both a documentary and a concert film, Down from the Mountain begins with a 30-minute introduction to the legendary artists heading to the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville for the recording session that would become the Grammy Award–winning soundtrack recording to the Joel and Ethan Coen film O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Among those assembled for the occasion are John Hartford, bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley, Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, and Alison Krauss.
“If you have any affection at all for traditional American music, the movie is pretty close to heaven.” –A.O. Scott, The New York Times
