Movie Reviews of Tim Buckley: My Fleeting House

Movie Review: Sure to interest committed Tim Buckley fans with its wealth of high-quality footage
Summary: 4 Stars

Though Tim Buckley's career was mostly spent in obscurity, with his talent not really apparent to the whole world until about a decade after his death from a drug overdose in 1975, there's a surprising amount of high-quality live recordings. The Tim Buckley estate has unearthed quite a bit of audio material already, but with MY FLEETING HOUSE we finally get his television and film appearances which have been long bootlegged.

This material ranges from nearly his entire creative activity, from the folk troubadour stylings of the late 1960s to his overtures to funk towards the end of his life. Only the "Greetings from L.A." period is unrepresented, which is unsurprising since that album's overt sexuality made it impossible to promote in the early 1970s. Artistically, I'd say the most valuable material here are the two songs from his masterpiece album STARSAILOR, which are a valuable document of how his avant-garde interests produced soaring improvisations in a live context. Other footage is less interesting musically, although it will provide helpful biographical details to fans of the composer, and show how he was treated by the media (praised by Leonard Bernstein, while having his chain jerked by Steve Allen). The Live in London 1968 release has long been one of my favourite Tim Buckley records, and I'm happy to finally see faces to accompany that music, as his band with Lee Underwood on guitar and Carter C. C. Collins on conga is given much attention. There is a handful of footage where Buckley speaks conversationally, and although he doesn't show any particular insights (clearly awkward on camera), it is spooky how similar his mannerisms are to those of his estranged son Jeff Buckley.

The DVD also has a documentary, where the course of Buckley's life is charted by journalist David Browne, guitarist Lee Underwood, and Buckley's close friend and songwriter Larry Beckett. Fans of the composer, the sort who would probably seek out this CD, have probably already read Browne's biography DREAM BROTHER and perhaps Underwood's biography BLUE MELODY, so the lack of detail here can be frustrating. Beckett's participation, however, is to be welcomed, as I don't think he has told his story before.
