Narrative
The film includes interviews, performance footage and home videos that are organized around the trajectory of Jeff's musical career from the time he moved to New York City as a fledgling singer in late 1991 to his death in Memphis in 1997. Interviews include all four of Jeff Buckley's band members, his mother, friends, colleagues, critics, DJ's, as well as artists or "fans" inspired by Jeff (including a young classical composer, a painter, a dancer and two singers.) The latter are meant as a testament to the uniquely broad range of Buckley fans who were inspired by Jeff's music.

Famous quotes containing the word narrative:
“To have frequent recourse to narrative betrays great want of imagination.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“The narrative impulse is always with us; we couldn’t imagine ourselves through a day without it.”
—Robert Coover (b. 1932)
