The Devil and Daniel Johnston (2005)

Posted on 07:07 by uthpa
Highly Recommended
USA
Feature Documentary
Director: Jeff Feuerzeig
Cinematographer: Fortunato Procopio
Featuring: Daniel Johnston

Feuerzeig’s affecting documentary - a beautifully composed portrait of the titular troubled genius, sensitively chronicling his battles with manic depression, and giving us plenty of examples of his music, drawings, and films that winningly combine painfully honest self-portraiture, apoliticism, and cheeky, absurdist humour - is a heart-warmingly funny yet devastatingly moving work.
