Janis: Little Girl Blue is a 2015 American documentary film directed by Amy J. Berg about the American singer-songwriter Janis Joplin. It was shown in the TIFF Docs section of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival.

Synopsis

Janis Joplin est l’une des artistes les plus impressionnantes et une des plus mythiques chanteuses de rock et de blues de tous les temps. Mais elle était bien plus que cela : au-delà de son personnage de rock-star, de sa voix extraordinaire et de la légende, le documentaire Janis nous dépeint une femme sensible, vulnérable et puissante. C’est l’histoire d’une vie courte, mouvementée et passionnante qui changea la musique pour toujours.

The program consists mostly of "film promos" around the song selection, interspersed with occasional slices of Lennon and Ono's life together, and also fantasy and "gag" sequences. In one of these, a succession of men (ranging from Lennon and Ono's assistants to celebrities including Fred Astaire, Jack Palance, Dick Cavett, and even George Harrison) escort Ono over and over through a doorway; in another, John and Yoko lose each other on the Tittenhurst grounds, and go looking.

Le réalisateur Jonathan Caouette s'est plongé dans dix ans d'images amateurs tournées au Festival All Tomorrow's Parties. Créé en 1999 par Belle & Sebastian, ce festival alternatif post-rock tire son nom d'une chanson du Velvet Underground. Sa particularité ? Les programmateurs, qui changent chaque année, sont de vrais artistes, comme Sonic Youth, Vincent Gallo ou Pavement. Ils choisissent les groupes qu'ils ont envie d'entendre et avec lesquels ils souhaitent jouer, loin des contingences commerciales d'autres festivals plus importants.

The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story est un fascinant documentaire sur les frères Sherman, le duo extraordinairement prolifique oscarisé à qui l'on doit tant de chansons, et dont la grande réussite professionnelle dans le divertissement familial cachait des différences de vues de plus en plus grandes au cours de leurs soixante années de partenariat.
