2011 | U2: From The Sky Down - eng

From the Sky Down - A Documentary From the Sky Down is a 2011 documentary film directed by Davis Guggenheim about rock band U2 and the production of their 1991 album Achtung Baby. The film documents the album’s difficult recording period, the band members’ relationships, and the group’s creative process. Guggenheim, who was commissioned by U2 to create the film to commemorate Achtung Baby’s 20th anniversary, spent several months in 2011 developing the documentary. Archival footage and stills from the recording sessions appear in From the Sky Down, along with unreleased scenes from the group’s 1988 motion picture Rattle and Hum. For the documentary, the band were filmed during a return visit to Hansa Studios in Berlin where the album was partly recorded, and during rehearsals in Winnipeg for the Glastonbury Festival 2011.
