Big Love
Returning to the circumstances surrounding the recording of the Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" is as nostalgic, glowing and painful for the viewer as it is for the members of the band. That's a great accomplishment for a documentary. We find our own experiences that we attached to the songs back in 1977 were perhaps rosier than those who wrote, sang and recorded this pop masterpiece. But we've all aged and experienced much of what these artists have and were immersed in at the time; and it's brave of them not only to have recorded it in the first place, but to return to the experience with such candor. And "big" love doesn't really leave us. Its face may change or we may hold it closer to or farther from us, but once we've experienced it, those chains will always "keep us together." Very personal filmmaking here with exquisite sound.
