The Devil and Daniel Johnston


Music Doc
5 stars

A fascinating look at a young musician with manic depression. Here's another film I showed to my students at UCSC. This film pulls the veil back on the notion of celebrity and is blessed with such a wealth of personal archival material. See this film.

I know the guy who cut this film. Took an editing class with him at Texas. He was actually editing the "The Devil..." while I took the class. He is a great editor, so I'm not surprised the documentary rocks. We'll definitely check it out.
