Music and Bond Go Hand in Hand in an Episodic Documentary
Music has been elemental to the success of the James Bond franchise, and director Mat Whitecross' 2022 documentary provides a good albeit incomplete overview of the contributions made by various composers and renowned performers through the years. There's a lot of emphasis on Billie Eilish's work on "No Time to Die", and one can't help but feel this was an extended commercial for Amazon's recent purchase of the Bond filmography. It was interesting to hear the familiar musical passages recycled yet altered as the character went through life changes in the series. The hits are covered though the movie breezes through the misses with little explanation. No surprise that this is on Amazon Prime.
