Benjamin Smoke (A Film by Jem Cohen and Peter Sillen)

BENJAMIN SMOKE is a hauntingly beautiful yet unflinching look at a performer whose life has had a profound effect on many artists, including R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe, Cat Power's Chan Marshall and Patti Smith, who appears in the film. The DVD extras include two moving performances of songs written for Benjamin by Cat Power and Vic Chesnutt.
