Additional favorites include songs such as “Animate”, “Closer To The Heart”, “Subdivisions” and “Tom Sawyer”, along with backstage moments and candid footage left on the cutting-room floor. The Director’s Cut also includes soundcheck performances of the fan-favorite “Jacob’s Ladder”, exclusive interviews with Tom Morello, Billy Corgan, Taylor Hawkins, producer Nick Raskulinecz, The Trailer Park Boys, violinist Jonathan Dinklage and more surprises.

Rush singer/bassist Geddy Lee told the 93.3 WMMR radio station about Cinema Strangiato: “What it is is basically a way of celebrating the ‘R40’ tour in the sense on a big screen. It’s taking a lot of stuff that fans might have seen on that video, the concert footage, but it’s added a few twists to it — there’s some soundcheck footage, there’s some pieces that people haven’t seen and haven’t been released, and there are interviews with various musicians blah-blah-blah-ing about us. [Laughs] So I think the intent of the record company, in that regard, was just to create something that you can’t have at home. Going into a venue with a ton of other like-minded Rush fans and celebrating the final tour, as it were.”

Neil Peart died in January 2020 in Santa Monica, California after a three-year battle with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. He was 67 years old.

Rush’s final show took place at the Forum in Los Angeles on August 1, 2015. Peart indicated at the time that he wanted to retire while he was still able to play well, along with a desire to spend more time at home with his young daughter.
