When Jimmy Lee Lindsey Jr., a.k.a. Jay Reatard, died from an overdose just short of his 30th birthday in 2010, the Memphis-based indie rocker not only left behind an impressive catalogue of songs that mixed punk-fuelled garage rock, lo-fi home recordings and jangling New Zealand pop, but a bright future as a talented songwriter. Compiled from 2009 interview footage, Alex Hammond and Ian Markiewicz's intimate documentary Better than Something: Jay Reatard reveals a fascinating, frustrating talent who was as prolific and productive as he was polarizing and self destructive. Pacific Cin‚mathŠque screens the Vancouver premiere of the film June 1 and 2. For tickets and show times, call 604 688 FILM or go to cinematheque.bc.ca.
