- DirectorAmy BergStarsCat PowerJanis JoplinKarleen BennettMusician Cat Power narrates this documentary on Janis Joplin's evolution into a star from letters that Joplin wrote over the years to her friends, family, and collaborators.If you are a fan of Asif Kapadia's heart-wrenching Amy, you'll want to check out this documentary, which tells a similarly poignant story. Long before Winehouse was dominating headlines in industry circles and tabloid rags, it was rock legend Janis Joplin who was music's fastest-streaking female singer-songwriter, garnering as much attention for her life off the stage as her performances behind the mic. Director Amy Berg's engrossing and detailed documentary provides a delicate portrait of an often misunderstood music figure and offers an opportunity for diehards and casual fans to rediscover an unmistakable voice that's as relevant now as it was in the late 1960s. -Bret
