Patti Smith: Dream of Life

1
 
 
Screening Times: 
Saturday, April 26, 2008 7:00pm

Image

Director: STEVEN SEBRING

Shot over 11 years, photographer Steven Sebring’s Patti Smith: Dream of Life travels Smith’s mystical interior terrain—the ideas, losses, and memories she wrestles with—as much as tracing her outward adventures.

She produced her own art installation, published books of poetry and traveled in the same circles as Andy Warhol and her dear friend (and former lover) Robert Mapplethorpe. Layered with mesmerizing recitations, music, and narration, the fluid journey incorporates her raw performances, graveyard pilgrimages and politi- cal rallies, archival nuggets, and vérité moments with her working-class parents, children, and friends and the legendary underground New York music scene she shook up as a Seventies icon. Former photographer turned director Steven Sebring brings one of the most iconic and vibrant women in music and creates a breathtaking documentary like no other ever filmed before.

What a disappointment!

What a disappointment! Where is the raw energy of her music? Could have left out more than half of the footage. This is what happens when you make a movie about yourself and don’t let a filmaker make the film.

THEATER | "White Sheep of the Family," a sharp farce at Theatre in the Round

By Dwight Hobbes , TC Daily Planet

You’re not going to find a stronger theater company in the Twin Cities than the Theatre in the Round Players, and they’ve done it again, mounting yet anotther first-rate production. The White Sheep of the Family, by L. du Garde Peach and Ian Hay, is a splendidly written, sharply directed, beautifully acted farce you’re going to rush home and tell family, friends—pretty much anyone who’ll listen—all about.
