Janis: Little Girl Blue
With JANIS: LITTLE GIRL BLUE, Oscar-nominated director Amy J. Berg (DELIVER US FROM EVIL, WEST OF MEMPHIS) examines Joplin’s story in depth for the first time on film, presenting an intimate and insightful portrait of a complicated, driven, often beleaguered artist. Joplin’s own words tell much of the film’s story through a series of letters she wrote to her parents over the years, many of them made public here for the first time (and read by Southern-born indie rock star/actor Chan Marshall, also known as Cat Power). Joplin was a powerhouse when she sang, and her meteoric rise and untimely demise changed music forever.
