Made with the only remaining band member, Barry Gibb, this documentary explores the family impact of huge fame
Here is an unavoidably bittersweet profile to the British-born, Australian-raised music act whose second – or even third – coming in the mid-70s resulted in a pop-culture saturation not seen since the heyday of the Beatles (which, amazingly in retrospect, was just a decade earlier). With Maurice and Robin – and younger brother Andy – all gone to the satin-bedecked rollerdisco in the sky, Barry Gibb is the last Bee Gee standing; leaning on the balustrade of his oceanfront property in Miami, he cuts a melancholy, meditative figure, happy to dwell on past glories but also expressing regret for past brotherly discord and the loss of their camaraderie.
