The Sundance Film Festival's non-fiction selection featured remarkable projects this year, including Amy Berg's documentary 'It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley.' This film provides a vibrant portrayal of Jeff Buckley's life, showcasing his musical influences and emotional struggles. Unlike conventional bio-docs, Berg emphasizes the emotional core of Buckley's story through memories and testimonies from those who knew him. His unique path in the '90s music scene resonated with many artists, and 'Grace,' his sole album, remains a celebrated work. The documentary underscores the significance of Buckley's artistry and how deeply he connected with those around him.
Berg doesn't avoid the emotional truth of a man who really broke through on the music scene when he wept on stage at a tribute to his estranged father.
Berg gets to the complex heart of a creative genius, a man who distilled his influences- from Robert Plant to Nina Simone- into something that felt timely, brave, and new.
