Overview

A homage to the late American singer-songwriter Elliott Smith, Elliottโ€™s Suicide is a sentimental 15 minute tribute, lacking Angerโ€™s usual irony for obvious reasons. The film begins with shots of friendsโ€™ and fansโ€™ last words written on Smithโ€™s memorial on Sunset Boulevard, then to footage of a Macyโ€™s parade, focusing closely on the oddly outfitted participants, some in renaissance attire, cowboys with lassos, and beauty queens. The film is scored with Smithโ€™s music, resulting in a melancholy effect, especially in the segment that follows Smith through the woods and films him as he digs up a guitar, then plays a song. This footage is repeated in the end of the film, but in a negative reversal print, suggesting pretty damn clearly that the subject matter has moved beyond the veil.
