Why watch this film?
The songs are an inseparable part of the James Bond myth, with a memorable soundtrack and theme songs that have entered popular imagination and the charts. This original Amazon documentary - the new owner of MGM studio - recaps this history, reminding us of the most iconic themes, the production process and how each song (as well as each 007) is a portrait of its time. Of course, there is a special focus on the composition and recording of Billie Eilish's "No Time to Die" for '007: No Time to Die', but the film also presents us with historical recordings of songs such as "Live and Let Die", "You Only Live Twice" and "Goldeneye", among others. Perfect for movie, James Bond and good music fans.

From the same director
Coldplay: A Head Full Of Dreams
Featuring never before seen footage, recorded over the course of 20 years, Amazon Prime Video's original documentary tells the story of Coldplay, one of the world's biggest bands. Even though it lacks a deeper involvement with the main characters of the story (the feature-length film, directed by Mat Whitecross, the same director behind the 'Supersonic' documentary, has a distant and cold look at the musicians), it will surely satisfy the band's fans (including those who don't admit it).
Documentary
The Falling Sky
Documentary about Indigenous peoples’ profound connection to nature and their struggle against deforestation, a grave threat to their way of life and the ecosystem they call home.
Edita
Edita - Receiving a special mention from the jury at the FICIQQ, Chile, in 2022, this biographical documentary delves into the life of a rebel, feminist and single mother, whose story had been hidden by both her family and official history. It tells the intriguing story of Edita, a Trotskyist woman, Bauhaus student and persecuted by Nazism, in the context of the military dictatorship in Chile during the 1980s.
What Jennifer Did
Netflix's true crime documentaries are as successful as they are predictable: a case is presented, something doesn't add up, a new revelation emerges, controversy or shock ensues. The same goes for What Jennifer Did, a documentary that delves into the controversial case of Jennifer Pan in Canada during 2010. If you remember it from the news, you already know what the story is about. And if not, you'll soon find out: the documentary follows the same true crime formula, so expect twists and surprises in the narrative.
The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem
A documentary that explores how the internet has progressed from the promise of democratic knowledge and innocent entertainment to a breeding ground for misinformation and even violence that spills over into the real world. The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem traces the path from the social network 4Chan and builds its genealogy up to Facebook and the events of January 6, 2021, in the United States. It doesn't present reflections that aren't obvious to those who have read books or watched other films about the impact of social media, but it's a good starting point to learn about how misinformation works on the internet.
