The Devil and Daniel Johnston
Trama
Daniel Johnston is a manic depressive, defiantly lo-fi, cult singer/songwriter/artist, whose work has proved inspirational to fans and musicians alike. Mixing archive material and his prodigious films, drawings and music, Johnston is revealed in this portrait of madness, creative genius, and love.

Feuerzeig cobbles together a moving portrait of the artist as his own ghost, using a wealth of material provided by Mr. Johnston, from home movies to audiocassette diaries to dozens of original, and often heartbreakingly beautiful, songs.

The songs are so nervously alive that it’s hard to distance yourself from the fragile soul who wrote them. Johnston’s pulse beats so close to the surface that its thrumming is sometimes difficult to bear.

Shot mostly on richly hued Super 16 and stitching together a chaotic life with nary a seam showing, Jeff Feuerzeig’s tremendous documentary runs on the motive force of intelligent fandom and radiates an ineffable grace.
