Jane's Addiction - Gift movie

[lost in the garden]

"What would you do if you came home and found your wife dead?

Do you call the cops?

Her parents?

That's where the true nightmare begins.

A story of love. A man and a woman's final night together."

This is the description of this 1993 movie from the back of the VHS tape.

I think it may be dark, and a little too real (mostly because it is, they do score dope, and they do shoot up) At the same time it makes for a very accurate portrayal of the life style, and the city of LA at the time.

It's got some amazing performances, not only Janes but also Perry and Ice-T doing "Don't Call me black person, Whitey", John Fusciante, and even a song by the Karma Cosmic Crusader (this has to make anyone that lived in LA in the early 90's laugh.)

All and all, it was a very big project of Perry and Casey to take on and I am glad that it saw the light of day after many delays in the movies release.

I think the movie deserves a DVD release, I had to track down a used copy of the VHS a couple years ago on amazon because I had lost mine.

Any other fans of this movie here,

discuss what you think of the film........

I hope they put the movie out on DVD and can release more archives from the concert vaults. The movie itself..I like it but don't love it. I liked watching them play the songs more than the story. The band and Perry were in a bad place, and probably would've been a more interesting movie.

If they did do a DVD, it would be cool if Perry and Casey did commentary, but I don't think they've talked to each other since the breakup....I think they're both a LOT happier though, and it might be long enough for them to discuss a rerelase.
