Gift is a very different type of film staring the music of Janes Addiction, but mostly their front man Perry Farrell and his partner Casey Niccoli. Perry does narrate bits of the film which are funny and sometimes sad. It definitely has a low budget look but that doesn't make it any less interesting at all! You get to see great shots of Jane's Addiction recording the RDLH album, and some great live shots. The storyline is basically a man comes home to find his wife overdosed and wonders what the heck he's going to do, and while he's figuring that out he reminisces about their life together. I only have this on VHS but it's a treasure and I also had the privilege of seeing it at a midnight theater which was great. Experimental -yes. Worth a watch absolutely!
