Patti Smith - Dream of Life

Punk rock legend, beat poet, artist, mother, daughter, friend. For eleven years, photographer Steven Sebring accompanied the star of this biopic, Patti Smith, with his 16mm camera. Sometimes he shows her in her home in Detroit, in carefully arranged still lifes, between photos, memories, record players and books. Sometimes he films her on the road, on trains, hotels, backstage with her son, on stage, in her parents' garden, at the graves of revered poets, by the sea or in the streets of Rome. In 'Dream of Life' (2008), she herself tells of her life, of moments of happiness, losses, utopias. 'A worker, a mother, an artist, a human being', a very personal portrait with many companions such as Bob Dylan, Michael Stipe, Flea, Tom Verlaine, Philip Glass and Sam Shepard.
