'Greetings from Tim Buckley' (2012). It portrays Jeff's (now legendary) performance of tunes from his long-since-departed and estranged dad's songbook in NY in '91. There are dramatized incuts displaying scenes from his father's life there too, but neither Jeff nor Tim are played by Franco.
The film was moderately successful and it's certainly OK and well worth seeing if you're an ardent fan - but to be honest, when push comes to shove Tim's life was itself far more culturally and historically colourful and ultimately exhuberant than his son's, although the latter reached more fame and (relative) fortune while still alive and gigging. Tim Buckley's life would have made a grand picture in the hands of the right director - arthouse or not. Alas now it will not happen.
