The HBO Original documentary MUSIC BOX: IT’S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY, the first film in the next installment of the “Music Box” series created by Bill Simmons, debuts on Thursday, December 4th, on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max. Directed by Academy Award nominee Amy Berg, the film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and went on to screen at film festivals worldwide after a robust theatrical release. The documentary covers the life of the rising young star, Jeff Buckley, who possessed an otherworldly voice and boundary pushing artistry, and left the ’90s music world reeling when he died suddenly at age 30 after the release of his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Grace’.
IT’S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY illuminates one of modern music’s most influential and enigmatic figures. The story is told through never before seen footage from Buckley’s archives and intimate accounts from his mother, Mary Guibert, former partners Rebecca Moore and Joan Wasser, and former bandmates, including Michael Tighe and Parker Kindred. Buckley initially launched his career at a tribute to his late father, folk musician Tim Buckley, but quickly became a star in his own right, challenging conventional ideas of genre and gender with his only studio album, ‘Grace’. The documentary celebrates his timeless body of work, including his intimate and influential cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.”
