- Synopsis:
Arguably the most iconic, challenging and creative solo female performer of the rock age, Patti Smith, having clocked up a musical career now exceeding 40 years, has intrigued and delighted almost every music fan who has taken the time to listen to her albums. And while the girl from Chicago - via NYC - continues to record new material alongside her career as a much respected author, it cannot be denied that it was the music she created from the second half of the 1970's to the early 1980's that remain her most glorious and astonishing work. This is unique documentary of this era in Smiths story, the second featuring a film tracing her place in New Yorks punk/CBGB's scene when she really was the queen on the street and along with the Velvet Underground - the biggest influence for so many younger bands and artists who came along in this remarkable lady wake. Featuring oceans of rare footage plus contributions from those who worked closely with Smith, and rare archive interviews, along with review and criticism from her biographers, this set really gets under the skin of the Patti Smith phenomena. - Genres:
