Jeff Buckley was a unique musician who was well versed in pop, rock, jazz, funk, and gospel, and used each of those elements in his music. This live concert video was recorded at Cabaret Metro in Chicago on May 13, 1995, and was part of his promotional tour for his gold album, Grace. Buckley was a rising recording artist in the 1990s, with comparison being made of him to Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. He was noted for his improvisation and experimentation of his music on-stage. Some of the songs featured on this video include "Dream Brother," "Grace," and his American hit-single, "Last Goodbye." ~ Forrest Spencer, All Movie Guide

This avant garde film is based on two angry autobiographical books by David Wojnarowicz: Close to the Knives and Memories That Smell Like Gasoline. Wojnarowicz, a noted performance artist, died of AIDS . The film examines three sides of his life. The first looks at his suburban childhood and the abuse he suffered at his alcoholic father's violent hand. The second chronicles his experiences as an teen-age street hustler and criminal in New York, and the third section, which is highly abstract, follows the adult Dave as he wanders through a dangerous desert. Once these identities are established, chronology is scattered to the winds, and the three ages of David play up to and comment on each other. The work of Wojnarowicz is also represented in Knud Vesterkov's film, By The Dawn's Early Light. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
