Elliott Smith Documentary, ‘Heaven Adores You,’ to Get DVD + Blu-Ray Release in July

Heaven Adores You, a documentary that examines the life of indie rock hero Elliott Smith, hit the theaters just a couple of weeks ago. Now, Eagle Rock Entertainment has announced plans to release it on DVD and Blu-ray on July 17, making it widely available to fans across the globe.

As described in a press release, 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." In our review of the doc, we describe it as a "must see" for any fan of Smith, if for no other reason than the "abundance of photographs, audio outtakes and interviews."

In addition to the full film, the DVD/Blu-ray will include a bonus performance of "Heaven Adores You" by Aaron Espinoza, who is the frontman for Earlimart, along with a full hour of extended interviews with many of the contributors featured in the film.
