剧情简介

Elliott Smith's intensely intimate songs helped popularize lo-fi, indie-rock: A traditionally underground genre until Smith's mainstream effort 'Miss Misery' took Hollywood by surprise. But even after an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song, he managed to fly mostly under the radar. And Smith wanted it that way. After his suicide in 2003, Smith's peers avoided the media. Granting very few print interviews and NO on-camera interviews. Until now.

We learn the dark motivations behind a musical genius. And discover how psychic pain can also produce timeless art
