VHS Movie Reviews of Janis
Movie Review: My Soul Sister No1
Summary: 5 Stars
The first sight I ever had of Janis Joplin was in 1977 when I was 11 years old, and with my pocket money one day I bought a book, 'The Illustrated Rock Almanac'. The photos were tiny, but I marvelled at a woman who looked to be wailing like a wild animal - hair frizzy and flying, mouth open wide enough to swallow the rest of the 8 X 10 book! Then my first experience of hearing her voice was in 1980 - I heard 'Move Over' on the radio one Sunday lunchtime, and I could not continue eating my food! I hadn't heard a woman sound like that and I was enthralled. Then this film was shown on TV here in the UK and I finally saw Janis in action.
Now, all these years later, I am still awed by her power, soulfulness, humour and raw sensuality as a performer. This film is a joy for fans and a fine collection of essential footage. Janis is unique. Still my Soul Sister No1 - She'll never be eclipsed.
