Name: Lucky Three: An Elliott Smith Portrait
Genre: Documentary, Short, Music
Duration: 11 min
Rating: 8
Cast: Elliott Smith

This is an example of pure music. It was shot in a time when Elliott Smith was still on an indie label and the music he plays only took one take. It is a beautiful portrait of an extremely talented young man creating very good music. It is very peaceful and somber. It shows Smith in Portland Oregon - around town, recording in a rehearsal space and a bathroom with just an acoustic guitar. The film has a tinge of sadness to it, but overall it left a happy impression. The music and the film are both very pure and emotional. Jem Cohen is truly great. He spoke at my college tonight (Ball State University) and his other works are very good, as well.
