Patti Smith: Under Review(2007)

剧情简介

The target of more sexist cliché (largely emanating from those who should know better) than just about any other woman in rock, Patti Smith is not ‘the female Bob Dylan’, ‘the first lady of Punk’ or ‘the most dynamic female artist of all time’; she is simply a unique performer, stunning songwriter and superb vocalist who has stayed at the cutting edge of contemporary music for more than 30 years – and that should be good enough for anyone. 　　This film is the first full length documentary about Patti and the astonishing music she has been making through three decades.
