Strange Parallel (1998)
Strange Parallel is a documentary/short film revolving around the American singer/songwriter Elliott Smith. The film features interviews with Elliott himself as well as fans, friends and other acquaintances of his (including Gus Van Sant, Larry Crane, and the members of Quasi). The film also includes snippets of Elliott Smith performing as well as footage of him recording an unreleased song, "Brand New Game". The film sometimes moves out of reality, with acted-out, metaphorical sequences that involve Elliott considering purchasing a mechanical hand (a "robot hand" ) to improve his music.

Such a frustrating disappointment
Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
