LITTLE GIRL BLUE:
JANIS
Amy Berg, USA, 2015, 107 min
Janis Joplin is one of the most revered and iconic rock &
roll singers of all time, a tragic and misunderstood figure
who thrilled millions of listeners and blazed new creative
trails before her death in 1970 at age 27. This in depth
examination presents an intimate and insightful portrait
of a complicated, driven, and 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.
Joplin was a powerhouse when she sang, and her recordings
have never left the radio or the hearts of rock fans
worldwide. A new understanding of a bright, complex
woman whose surprising rise and sudden demise changed
music forever.
