Daniel Johnston is a manic depressive, defiantly lo-fi, cult singer/songwriter/artist, whose work has proved inspirational to fans and musicians alike. Mixing archive material and his prodigious films, drawings and music, Johnston is revealed in this portrait of madness, creative genius, and love.
This remarkable documentary is a loving look at an unusually inspired yet unusually tormented musical talent. Blending various sources, including home movies and performances, Jeff Feuerzeig’s inspired use of Daniel Johnston’s personal records and footage snagged him a Directing Award at Sundance.
