About this product

Product Information

Although his appeal barely stretches beyond a small band of obsessives in the tight-knit indie-rock community, the turbulent career of singer-songwriter Daniel Johnston has had more highs and lows than most globetrotting rock stars. This film by director Jeff Feuerzeig offers a retrospective look at Daniel's life, forming an affecting picture of a truly talented man. Eschewing the opportunity to bring in a host of celebrities to wax lyrical about Daniel--of which there would be many: Nirvana, Beck, Sonic Youth, SIMPSONS creator Matt Groening, and many others are all devoted followers of the singer--Feuerzeig instead speaks to those who know (or knew) him best. So Daniel's parents, a former girlfriend, a former manager, and others all step forward to fill in the gaps in what becomes a remarkable story. Feuerzeig's film shows how Daniel's battles with manic depression have blighted his chances of fully enjoying the fame that he desperately craves. Daniel himself does not speak to camera; instead he is heard through the mountain of audio cassettes on which he has obsessively recorded the key elements of his life. It all adds up to riveting viewing, with tales of an ill-fated major label deal in the grunge era, stints in and out of mental institutions, and Daniel's first acid trip at a Butthole Surfers show. What becomes abundantly clear is the love and devotion Daniel inspires in his family, friends, and followers. Feuerzeig is careful not to condescend to his subject, and notes how Daniel has enjoyed a latter-day renaissance as he enters his mid-40s. With new advances in medicine allowing him to tour, the art world snapping up his beautiful drawings, and a level of previously unthinkable stability entering his life, Feuerzeig leaves us on a high, as his lovingly crafted movie about this brightest of tragic stars winds to a satisfying conclusion.

    The book arrived as advertised, in excellent condition; I felt it was a very fair price for it. The packaging was very secure and double wrapped to protect from the elements and potential damage that could've been incurred during the course of the shipping. Shipping itself was also prompt, began as soon as I completed the transaction. Honest and incredible seller, rare books, what more could you ask for!

    Record was received in better condition than described and super fast shipping. It was professionally packaged and arrived with no creases or folds, with an extra layer of cardboard. Highly recommended seller!

    Pics and description accurate. Shipping prompt. Packing was overly secure and excessive packing tape actually risks damage trying to extricate the fragile book from its impenetrable cocoon, items arrived safely tho. Would buy from this seller again.

  • Gritty, shocking, sad.

    Sad and shocking was to see such a respected musician. Depression will ruin many lives. This movie shows how. You won't see someone with mental illnesses the same way again.
