Director: Nyla Adams, Laurie Trombley
“Amazing Grace: Jeff Buckley” is a documentary on the life and sounds of the singer. Buckley was a man dedicated to creating music for others. Not the media, not the moguls, not the corporations. Hence, he wasn’t well known in the US. This was my first experience hearing his work, seeing him perform. His is not my style, but the film was evokative and compelling. The darkness of the film added to the edgy “out there” feeling of the performer. It’s a competent treatment on Buckley’s life, what motivated him, and what made him.
