Even if you didn’t already love Jeff Buckley, the new trailer for the documentary It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley might have you falling head over heels.
It’s Never Over comes to us from Amy Berg, the Oscar-nominated director of Deliver Us from Evil as well as Phoenix Rising about Evan Rachel Wood and Marilyn Manson. Buckley’s Grace song “Last Goodbye” soundtracks the trailer, which promises new interviews with his mother Mary Guibert, Buckley’s partners, and bandmates, plus Aimee Mann and Ben Harper, as well as never-before-seen footage from his archives. More than anything, it leans into his charm.
“My main influences? Love, anger, depression, and Zeppelin,” Buckley cracks at one point, flashing the kind of smile that had movie producers trying t0 cast Brad Pitt f0r a biopic (Guibert turned them down). There are also grim forebodings of his death, though the tone here leans into romance and mystery without hinting at the real-life tragedy (while swimming under a bridge, Buckley was pulled into a tugboat’s wake and drowned. He was 30 years old.)
