Review of Dancing Outlaw (1991) by Philip L — 29 Aug 2010
Madness in the form of a backwoods redneck who wears tap shoes. This short documentary tells us the story of mountain dancer Jesco White in all his batshit insane glory. He huffs gasoline, threatens to kill his wife over badly cooked eggs, tells us the horrific story of watching his father get shot to death, and tap dances all over his home town of Boone County West Virgina.
The most ungodly looking place I've ever seen. Although a true story, it's as surreal as any Dali painting or David Lynch film. An honest, heartbreaking and hilarious look into the life of man who lives with no qualms about who he is.
A trashy ignorant hillbilly who can tap dance like no other. And for that he's brilliant.
