Jeff Buckley: here's the playlist of tracks from the documentary, already topping the box office

In its first two days of release, out of a planned three, "It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley" – still in cinemas as of today – topped the Italian box office, according to figures released by Cinetel. Meanwhile, the official streaming playlist gathering the Jeff Buckley songs featured in the film, conceived as the sonic thread running through the biographical story, has been made available: you can listen to it below.

Starting April 17, to mark Record Store Day, Sony Music will release the remastered double-LP edition of "Live À L'Olympia", already available for pre-order. The recordings date back to the Paris concerts of July 6 and 7, 1995, held during the European tour tied to "Grace".

Directed by Amy Berg, the film remains in Italian theaters through today.

Below is the official trailer.

The son of Tim Buckley, a legend of American songwriting, Jeff Buckley left a decisive mark with just one studio album, "Grace" (1994), which over time has become a touchstone for singer-songwriter music of the Nineties. His death at thirty, in the waters of a Mississippi tributary, helped cement his image somewhere between absolute talent and tragic fate.

"It's Never Over: Jeff Buckley" builds its story through previously unseen archival material drawn from the artist's personal estate, alongside a series of first-hand accounts: his mother Mary Guibert, former partners Rebecca Moore and Joan Wasser, musicians Michael Tighe and Parker Kindred, as well as artists such as Ben Harper and Aimee Mann. What emerges is a portrait that weaves together musical upbringing, ambition, fragility, and the cultural backdrop of early-1990s New York.

Director Amy Berg has explained that she nursed the idea of a film about Buckley for years. Her first conversation with the singer's mother dates back eighteen years, at a time when a biopic was being considered. Access to his personal archives — including the last voicemail Buckley ever left — steered the project toward documentary form, which was finally greenlit in 2019. The result is a work aimed at the rigorous reconstruction of a figure who remains central to the contemporary musical imagination.
