Title: Brilliant
Review: Once upon a time long ago, I saw a film by Conrad Rooks, "Chappaqua" that blew my mind. In all the years of "brilliant films" I haven't seen anything that compares to "Chappaqua" until now with "Tarnation". Caouette's imagination is brilliant; taking your mind with him with his usage of video, snapshots, answering machine messages, and whatever else came into his mind....just as with Rooks (no computers in Rooks' filmmaking). "Tarnation" is painfully personal which allows the viewer to capture Caouette's humor, pride and above all his love and caring not only for his own mother but this film made him aware of human dignity and what being a real human being is about with love and care for others....and with cool music. Amen!!!
