(Vikram Jayanti, UK 2009, 102 min., Digital Projection)

The life and music of the pioneering songwriter and record producer whose “Wall of Sound” brought life to such classic hits as The Righteous Brothers’ “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’ ” and the Ronettes’ “Be My Baby,” is examined in this artfully edited and revealing new documentary. Footage of Spector’s first trial for the 2003 murder of actress Lana Clarkson is intercut with rare and revealing interviews with the reclusive artist, who speaks on varied topics that include the suicide of his father, his lonely childhood and adolescence, the Beatles, Alfred Hitchcock, Martin Scorsese, and even his notoriously strange wigs.
