Movie Haiku:An early shot of Janis Joplin performing at a fundraiser establishes the precise historical moment this drama is set – the point at which the wall between “public” and “private” was breached, & “nice people” were suddenly faced with new personal choices at once exhilarating & terrifying. Provocative time capsule treasure!
