In 1969, 500,000 people descended on a small patch of field in a little-known town in upstate New York called Woodstock. The documentary chronicles the legendary music festival in unflinching details.
A seminal docu on any number of levels, musically, sociologically, and historically, Woodstock is a unique chronicle, at once summing up the zeitgeist and signaling the end of an era; for once Oscar voters were right.
