February 3rd, 2003 Lana Clarkson was found dead in Phil Spector's home. She was shot and killed by a pistol at extremely close range. It was concluded that she was shot with the gun in her mouth. Did Phil kill her or did she kill herself? That's the million dollar question.
Al Pacino harkened back to his 1993 "Scent of a Woman" Oscar performance for this one. Not since his role as Jack Kevorkian in 2010 had I been this impressed with Pacino.
"Phil Spector" deals strictly with trial preparation for Spector's defense with his lawyer, Linda Kenney Baden (Helen Mirren). We see his interaction with her over a period of days or weeks almost as though we were tasked with judging his guilt or innocence based upon their conversations. He was a strange man, but most artists are.
I know next to nothing about Phil Spector, but I enjoyed Pacino's performance.
