Janis - Little Girl Blue (2015)
Janis Joplin war eine der einflussreichsten Rock-Ikonen der Welt, eine Göttin des Gesangs und noch viel mehr. Sie inspirierte eine ganze Generation und eroberte neues Terrain für weibliche Rocksängerinnen nach ihr. Neben all ihren turbulenten Liebesaffären und ihrer Drogensucht gab es aber eine Konstante: Sie war bis zu ihrem herzzerreißenden Tod im Alter von 27 Jahren komplett ihrer Musik ergeben. 'Janis - Little Girl Blue' erzählt ihr eigenes Leben durch die Briefe, die sie ihrer Familie, ihren Freunden und Liebhabern schrieb. Chan Marshall (Cat Power) leiht ihre raue Südstaaten-Stimme den Lesungen der schmerzhaft intimen Briefe von Janis im Film. Filmemacherin Amy Berg sieht hinter Janis' Rock’n’Roll-Persönlichkeit und enthüllt die sanfte, vertrauensvolle, sensible aber auch starke Frau hinter der Legende.
Der Regisseur: Amy J. Berg
