'Heaven Adores You' is an intimate, meditative inquiry into the life and music of Elliott Smith, a musician whose rise to prominence in the 1990s and early 2000s was cut short by his untimely death at the age of 34 in 2003. By threading the music of Elliott Smith through the dense yet often isolating landscapes of the three major cities he lived in: Portland, New York & Los Angeles, 'Heaven Adores You' presents a visual journey and an earnest review of the singer's prolific songwriting and the impact it continues to have on fans, friends and fellow musicians. At the conclusion of the film we have a rich view of an incredible and accomplished talent, a view that places music at the center of Elliott Smith's legacy.Bonus FeaturesPerformance of 'Heaven Adores You' by Aaron EspinozaAn hour of extended interviews with many of the contributors to the main film

This all-male cast performance at the faithful reconstruction of the famous Globe Theatre (originally built in 1599) - ''a theatrical heaven'' (Sunday Express) - on the banks of the Thames features two-time Tony Award winner Mark Rylance playing Olivia, and Stephen Fry reprising his superb role as the wretched Malvolio. Spoken in Shakespeare's English, directed by Tim Carroll and filmed in High Definition and true surround sound, this very popular comedy was wholeheartedly praised by the Sunday Telegraph (''Five stars: A glorious star performance, pure comic delight'') and the Sunday Express (''Five stars: An unbridled pleasure, some of the best comic acting in the world'').

Please note: Due to the early television kinescope process employed to record the live program in 1956, there are certain visual artifacts (a constant dot and some screen shading on certain camera angles) that are inherent in the original master and could not be removed from the final product in the restoration process. These artifacts are part and parcel of many early television programs.
