Product description
Amy Berg directs this documentary about American singer-songwriter Janis Joplin. The film chronicles the life of the influential artist from her conservative, Texan upbringing to her breakthrough in the 1960s music scene. Following her decision to pursue a music career full-time, Joplin joined the blues rock band Big Brother and the Holding Company and shortly after embarked upon her own highly successful and influential solo career, which she continued until her untimely death at the age of 27 in 1970. The film also shines a light on the artist's private life as fellow musician Cat Power narrates a selection of letters written by Joplin to her friends and family.

Good to see Janis as she once was not depicted as a raging addict but young women happy with everything to live for.

A Brilliant, Moving Documentary Told Mostly in Her Own Words
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 February 2018Verified Purchase
Being a fan of her music and having picked up on a fair few facts about her here and there over the years I wasn't expecting this film to be quite as engrossing or insightful as it was and thought this Amy Berg documentary on the life of the great Janis Joplin was brilliant. I didn't expect it to move me in the way it did either, but somehow it was like hearing all of this for the first time and the film keeps an emotional and personal edge to it without being blindly pro-Janis or glossing over her faults (although perhaps the substance abuse could have been given a greater weighting in the film) and I have to admit to being moved to tears at the end.
The film is carried along by archive footage (including some great performances), others recounting their experiences with Janis, and mostly by 'Janis' reading out the letters she so often sent. The voice of Janis is provided by Cat Power and I think she does a brilliant job - it didn't ever feel like someone else reading out the letters and this works so well in the film to keep you attached as though you're going on a journey with Janis, rather than just hearing facts about her life. And because they are her actual words telling the story it provides a much greater connection to it all. It makes it so much more personal and the letters reveal a lot about Janis' state of mind at various points and give an insight into her emotions and who she was behind the music, all, pinned against various experiences she was having at the time, such as her successes, her failures, various relationships, being in love, being rejected. It shows us that behind the tough care-free persona she often projected that actually she was very delicate and fragile in some respects and in essence just wanted to be loved. I think this will have good re-watch value too and if you're a fan of her music I think you'll really enjoy this.

Very moving
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 July 2020Verified Purchase
This is a fantastic documentary about a very tragic, misunderstood and brilliantly talented musician. Another victim of loneliness and drugs during one of the greatest periods of popular music development: the 60s. Rarely, if ever matched by today's fluff and unimaginative diarrhoetic outpourings!!!
Janis Joplin was one of a kind; outstandingly talented, though she didn't really acknowledge it.
This is a must see for anyone who loves and appreciated what we once had and took for granted, and the price that artists like Janis Joplin paid in order to leave such a legacy.
I challenge anybody to not be moved and even shed a tear by the end of this.

Wonderful documentary. Lots of footage and photos I hadn't seen before (I'm not a huge fan of Janis' but I devour anything from that era and music scene). You really feel you have a sense of what Janis was like. One minor quibble - Janis doesn't need the validation of Pink and Juliette Lewis over the end credits. It was as though they couldn't resist trying to reach out to a younger audience.

Janis : Little Girl Blue DVD.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 March 2017Verified Purchase
This is without doubt one of the greatest and saddest films that I have ever seen. It is honest and does not attempt to re write history or sanitise the truth. This dvd documentary is essential viewing for Janis Jolpin fans old and new.
The film tells it as it was. Janis was and remains phenomenal. There was and is nobody like her. Amazing concert performances, songs and interviews. The CD soundtrack is also essential. Five stars are insufficient.

Great singer tragic life
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 February 2020Verified Purchase
Great little documentary film about a great artist . A must rockumentary for any music fan. A look at raw awesome voice. Probably underrated female voices in modern music history. Sad life on a road of self destruction. Gives a interesting insight into her young life . A very tragic story.
