This is one of the best documentaries and most heart wrenching stories I've seen in a while. Daniel Johnston reminds me of Bob Dylan in his early days. The sad part of the story is that he develops a severe form of bipolar disorder. This movie not only shows how unbelievably talented this guy is, but how all this talent gets washed down the drain when his manic depressive episodes kick in. Daniel Johnston is still around, although physically and mentally far from the bubbly talented genius he once used to be. He's playing in Denver in April, but his story is so sad that I cannot drag myself through it again.
