Title: Must See Now
Review: I first heard Daniel Johnston a few years ago when I was in high school. Kurt Cobain turned me onto lots of music, including Daniel. At first I thought it was terrible, just another artist that pretentious people enjoy. Oh, how naiive I was. This documentary will show you why Daniel Johnston is one of the most important songwriters/artists alive today. He puts all the pain, ugliness, and humor of his life into his art. And what a life he has had. The whole story is almost mythological, really. The best part of the doc. is how well Daniel managed to record his life over the years using tape recorders, cameras etc. The filmmakers must have wet their pants when Daniel handed that stuff over. I mean, he recorded EVERYTHING. I originally saw this doc. in a theater and I must say, it is equally parts hilarious, moving, and tragic. Now I can watch it in the comfort of my own home. THANKS AMAZON!
