A Well Spent Life (1972)


Flower Films
Directed by Les Blank
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Slice-of-life documentary about aging folk-blues guitarist Mance Lipscomb. He spends his time in rural Texas doing the same thing he's done his whole life: farming, eating home-cooked meals with his wife, singing and playing guitar at the local bar, attending a church baptism and raising kids. His music permeates the film, a soothing blend of acoustic guitar and blues lyrics drawn from a rich life.
