Janis (1974)

 

The life and music of Janis Joplin.

From memory: This documentary lacks any narration, comment or a historic timeline nor shows any development of Janis's career, but consists of lots of rare concert, on-the-road and interview material; it may be a feast for die-hard fans, but for a broader audience it's simply not that informative.

Maltin***: "...it ignores the singer's dark side. OK within its limits..."
