Review of The Devil and Daniel Johnston (2006) by Ricardo V — 28 Aug 2007
The Devil and Daniel Johnston tells the haunting life of musician and artist Daniel Johnston, on a crusade for earnest creativity. Jeff Feuerzig's 110-minute collage like documentary charts Daniel's life unfolding through this visual train wreck; battling the insurmountable manic depression mental illness, drug experiments, obsession with the devil, mental hospitals, a lost contract with a major record, isolation, a thirst for love, and lost love.
His raw, soulful, musical genius influences the likes of Nirvana, Beck, MTV, Austin, Texas and the entire underground music scene, and allows us to delve in the world of one of music's greatest songwriters.
