"the Devil and Daniel Johnston"
~Absolutely Fantastic!!!!!~ (if you liked 'Crumb' you will love this, too.)
Outsider Artist, Musician, Cult Hero. This Documentary outlines the ups and downs of Daniel Johnstons' bouts with manic depression and the obsessive nature of his artistic expression. From comic drawings with reoccuring characters of 30 years, homemade cassettes containing loads of his songs, Hi 8mm movies, to his audio mail correspondance and audio diaries. The film does a good job of showing the fine line of madness and genius that exists for Daniel, through his travels, tours, other experiences to his current status of recent internatinal tours and art shows. I strongly reccommend...SEE THIS MOVIE! Buy the DVD!( it will have he extarfootage of his reunion with lori at the south by southwest festival for the screening of the movie there.)Buy any music that you ocan find.
