The Devil and Daniel Johnston

Daniel Johnston is a crazy man with a crazy story. His brief rise to fame and lasting blip on pop culture's radar are both engrossing and disgusting. I felt, at times, to be watching a car wreck for entertainment -- but the filmmaker handles the story as respectfully as he can. I wasn't familiar with the music or story of Johnston before seeing this movie, but it was fascinating all the same.
