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:
“The narrative impulse is always with us; we couldn’t imagine ourselves through a day without it.”
—Robert Coover (b. 1932)
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
