Eleven years in the making, the documentary, which gives nary a biographical detail, is a roving dreamscape--from New York to Tokyo to Rome--of punk's great poet. It's a fitting and appropriately impressionistic celebration of Patti Smith, who has been called "the only major surviving link from the beat era to the '70s Manhattan art scene to the birth of punk to the present." After she moved from underground punk rocker to rock star--all the while maintaining a relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe that is inadequately described as a friendship and artistic collaboration--she left it all behind to raise a family in Michigan; after her husband's death, she has returned to the spotlight, as fierce a punk poet and advocate as ever. Patti Smith and Steven Sebring will participate in a conversation with Jim DeRogatis, pop music critic for the Chicago Sun-Times and co-host of Sound Opinions, after the screening.

You are so self righteous it's a joke. Also so tight assed you could break steel with it.
Clearly everything I said went in one ear and right out the other. Your only hearing what you want to hear. Why debate if in your mind you think your already right? Pick your battles..failing that, at least pick one that's worthy, because you sound more and more an ass everytime your fingers hit that keyboard.
People like you take everything to damn personal and seriously.
