Punk Icon Patti Smith
By Virginia Prescott on Wednesday, September 24, 2008.
I know people say this a lot about rock stars, but Patti Smith really did change my life. In the late 1970s, I was a reasonably well behaved kid grooving to Captain and Tenille and disco songs until I discovered my brother’s copy of Patti Smith’s Easter. I was hooked.
Patti Smith was also a suburban kid who made her way to New York City in the late 1960s, befriending Robert Mapplethorpe, Sam Shepard, and setting her unladylike poems to three-chord guitar riffs, a sound that helped launch her as “the godmother of punk” - a status that doesn’t sit well with her. Patti Smith: Dream of Life is a film by renowned fashion photographer and first-time director Steven Sebring. It's mostly shot in grainy 16mm film and mostly in black and white. There’s no timeline and sometimes little action. Sebring joins Word of Mouth with more on filming Patti Smith for twelve years. Watch the trailer for Patti Smith: Dream of Life:
