www.sundancecha... Poet/writer/singer/activist Patti Smith and director Steven Sebring at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival premiere of PATTI SMITH: DREAM OF LIFE.
I believe that Patti Smith TODAY is a role model: for anyone who needs her energy , she gives it, through her art and joy for life. She has shown great courage time and again, by speaking the truth as she sees it. She sings to give power to those who have been afraid to raise their own voices, and gives them strength to do so. She has raised two beautiful children, that she truly wanted. She lives without the trappings of stardom. She is a genuine reflection of her true self. My respect always.
i was so lucky to see it at film forum, greenwich village, nyc, with patti, lenny k, and stephen in attendance. patti played two songs after the film. she is as gracious and kind and gentle as the person she was looking for to take her photographs. the film is a dream. it feels and moves like one of her albums: poetry, rock n roll and art. we love you patti.
Great film! Really appreciated the clips at Patti's folk's place in Mantua, NJ. Her Mom was so friendly and welcoming to fans over the years, she was a really wonderful person. My favorite parts of the movie: Patti visiting Rimbaud's farm, as well as the songs with Sam Shepard.
a friend of mine has met Patti at stage door with a rose several times when she's played Atlanta . He says she's never been anything but polite. Once just to do something different he handed her a lit joint. He says she laughed, said thanks, and took it.
i think its wonderful you had a great experience, good for you both. i was lucky to have met her! i even had dinner with her and the band at an event. its to bad you would think something Stupid would trigger some kind of personal hostility towards her. truth be told her most recent efforts are not memorable
there are some good moments in recent years, i love her band, i love her writing, she has been a teacher to me in many ways! i really didnt mean to trash her, just sharing the truth i wish her the best, frankly, the two nicest artists i ever met( on repeated ocassions) were laurie Anderson.and (this is true) Alice Cooper ( im done here)
met her several years ago, she's done some great work, at times important work, and she has dealt with a rocky road of death in the last decade, however, shes not the buddah like spirit she wants you to believe (although she was nice to me)i witnessed ungracious moments , just rude behavior , her band said was typical throughout the years, that broke my heart. were all human, but where there is power there is no love....
@217potato no, didn't say a thing....but to put things in perspective Jay Dee Daugherty was very cool...and spoke a little about their music, setlists, etc. He was very much a gentleman.
hola! alguien sabe dónde puedo encontrar subtitulos en español para este documental? Me lo bajé por torrent, y esta´ en dos partes. Los nombres de los archivos son: - Patti.Smith.Dream.Of.Life.2009.DOCU.DVDRiP.XviD-BAND1D0S.cd1 - Patti.Smith.Dream.Of.Life.2009.DOCU.DVDRiP.XviD-BAND1D0S.cd2 Muchisimas gracias
Patti could be a bitch to other females. Suffering people usually are not diva witches. They are very often gracious,humble and softened by the sanding down of the ego. She was attitudinally cruel. She's a mighty wonderful expressive person. I love a truely artistic soul,but sometimes artsy people are mean.
i used feel the same way as all of you, i felt she was a great artist and human (like all of us) but i've been around her on a few occasions, she not very respectful to people.every star has an ego, you need a certain amount of one to be great, hers' is just mean spirited. in the words of chris stein, she's not what she thinks she is.
I met her in person and she was completely forced,contrived and smug.I was disappointed because I like her art to some degree. I agree that she really takes herself wayyy too seriously. I also,if honesty counts anymore ,not pc,found her to be almost a frankenstein ,long ,scarey looking hag who said ,in her show,about five times how fabulous she is/was and how this one,that one had to have her,etc. Way too serious about herself. Disappointed by her deluded ,fat ego.

You go girl...this chit is magic...all of you...
Cannot wait to see this journey on film...patti and steven - a journey shared
She's no role model, but she is one hell of a poet and singer. Influential is the word.
a friend of mine has met Patti at stage door with a rose several times when she's played Atlanta . He says she's never been anything but polite. Once just to do something different he handed her a lit joint. He says she laughed, said thanks, and took it.

She's soooooo gorgeous :)

Mean to everyone! I gotta say she was an idol of mine since my childhood...and I got to meet her a few years back and....she was mean to me. LOL

Muchisimas gracias
i love her so so so much and i was so disappointed with the film. : (
ni idea, pero si lo consigues me avisas porfa!!
i saw the movie in the theater last year. twas interesting.
but a little long.
She looks like Joey Ramone on this interview. :-)
@jocksoff Did you say something to upset her, because she really seems like she is cool.
@fnnichols -- quiet now. Smith is deserving of anyone's respect. Bear in mind; only you have your wants.

@Jojoseahorse
Yeah, I wake up every day to look in the mirror cursing the gods that I don't look like her.

..
just to comment and perhaps shed some light on the subject....I have met patti and laurie anderson....laurie was very pleasant.....patti was not....

@kingoftomatoes I'm assuming you are a dude, if you are a "King": would you really want to resemble a hot girl?! Some tomatoes can be juicy though :)
She takes herself wayyy too seriously.
Good video!
