LUCKY THREE (Jem Cohen film)


     Take a short break (11:43 mins) between the session playlists with one of my favorite videos. 
Here's Lucky Threea short film directed by Jem Cohen featuring the tortured-life folk singer-songwriter Elliott Smith. The film was recorded in 1996 in portland, oregon, just before Elliott became famous as a result of Good Will Hunting, before the long alcohol and drug, and before he was stabbed in the heart by himself or someone else...
     In the video, we'll see Elliott performing three songs acoustically: Between the Bars, Thirteen (a Big Star cover) and Angeles. Elliott once described Lucky Three as "a cross between a video and a documentary, but actually being neither of the two."
The film is available on Kill Rock Stars' Video Fanzine #1 release.
