The Devil And Daniel Johnston (12A)

Documentary about singer/songwriter/artist Daniel Johnston, who has won countless fans including David Bowie, Beck, The Flaming Lips and Kurt Cobain with his distinctive drawings and haunting songs of existential angst and suburban longing. Johnston's fame is even more incredible when considered in the context of his personal journey: early in his career he suffered a nervous breakdown and he became obsessed with angels and demons, decrying the end of the world in some of his songs. With the love and support of his Christian fundamentalist parents Bill and Mabel, Daniel and his music found an audience, which continues to grow to this very day.
