A new documentary on pop icon George Michael is set to arrive on the physical home formats this week. There’s been a bit of a run of these, most recently with Netflix’s Wham! documentary and the George Michael co-directed George Michael: Freedom, which is the ultimate second part of a whopping double-header that I urge you to do over the Christmas period. And now, you can add another to the list; George Michael: Portrait of A Legend which is available on special collectors’ edition Blu-ray and DVD with a smashing a host of extras and a 44-page booklet.
I’ve not seen this one as yet but I’ve heard good things. Directed by former Wham! manager Simon-Napier Bell and featuring exclusive interviews with those who knew George best, George Michael: Portrait of An Artist provides an in-depth insight into George’s extraordinary life and career from the early days with Wham! to his tragic death on Christmas Day in 2016.
The Blu-ray and DVD collector’s editions exclusively include over 80 minutes of additional material “from the cutting room floor”, a 50-minute interview with Simon Napier-Bell about his working relationship with George Michael and a 44-page booklet accompanying the film, with additional written content from contributors such as Kenny Goss, Stephen Fry, Sananda Maitreya and Rufus Wainwright.
The editions on DVD and Blu-ray street on 4th December in the UK.
Looking forward to checking this out.
Here’s a trailer.
