Take a journey with maverick musician Neil Young in this personal, behind-the-scenes doc as he cruises the coast on his recent solo tour.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker and Young’s wife, Daryl Hannah, Coastal offers a glimpse behind the curtain of this unguarded iconoclast, as he navigates a return to the stage post-Covid – from his everyday observations on the bus to his candid, wry banter with his audience. The illuminating film also features songs rarely, if ever played live, performed in breathtakingly beautiful theaters.
The setlist featured in Coastal includes a mix of familiar Neil Young hits alongside lesser-known songs from across his career, offering a well-rounded perspective on the legendary artist’s musical evolution.
The setting of the Pacific Coast Highway is seen as a deliberate backdrop, echoing themes of reflection, nostalgia, and the passage of time often present in Young’s music. The setting is also timely given the recent wildfires that have affected this part of the country.
