Neil Young: Heart of Gold (2006)
Directed by Jonathan Demme
In March 2005, Neil Young was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. Four days before he was scheduled for a lifesaving operation, he headed to Nashville, where he wrote and recorded the country folk album Prairie Wind with old friends and family members. After the successful operation and recovery period, he returned to Nashville that August to play at the famed Ryman Auditorium, once again gathering together friends and family for this special performance.

What critics compared Neil Young: Heart of Gold to
(During that time, he made the documentaries Neil Young: Heart of Gold and Jimmy Carter Man from Plains.)
Jonathan Demme’s documentary passion projects like Neil Young: Heart of Gold and Jimmy Carter: Man From Plains helped him experiment with digital filmmaking and that technique is on full display in Rachel Getting Married.
An unintentional companion piece to last winter's "Margot at the Wedding," a similar tale of a "monster" sibling who disrupts her sister's nuptials, "Rachel Getting Married" establishes Hathaway as a bona fide adult movie star and a front-runner for next year's Best Actress Oscar while re-establishing Jonathan Demme as a top director of original material after a decade of remakes and documentaries ("The Manchurian Candidate," "Neil Young: Heart of Gold").
