the film is mostly marvelous: a documentary that every Paul Simon fan on earth should want to see and experience.
I raise the issue only because “In Restless Dreams” has come into thewithout a distributor, and let’s just be honest: The 209-minute running time, when you hear about it, doesn’t exactly sound…user-friendly. Gibney, of course, is one of the renaissance masters of contemporary documentary, a filmmaker of staggering skill and eclecticism .

It overflows with stunning archival footage, letting us take a deep dive into what it was like to be Paul Simon, a short chipmunk-cute Jewish kid from Queens who met Art Garfunkel in school, when the two of them were 10, and they started fusing their voices and imitating the doo-wop and rockabilly records they had to ride on the bus for an hour to buy at a record store in Jamaica, Queens.
The reign of Simon and Garfunkel is an extraordinary saga that the film captures in all its 1960s romanticism. They were supposed to be the next big thing, but their first album, “Wednesday Morning, 3:00 A.M.” , was a flop. Simon went off by himself to London and started playing in folk clubs there. He even made a solo record ; as far as he was concerned, Simon and Garfunkel were probably history.
His solo records were magnificent, and Gibney makes a smart choice in sticking to the crème de la crème of them, though I must register one small peeve: How could he have left out any mention of “There Goes Rhymin’ Simon,” the great record with “Kodachrome” on it? The most fascinating aspect of the ’70s section is that it captures how Simon, through his repeated appearances on “SNL” , entered his sexy phase and became an offbeat midnight matinee idol.
