The Devil And Daniel Johnston
2005・United States・106 minutes
Lo-fi, indie alternative music legend! The beloved singer of Kurt Cobain, lead vocalist of Nirvana! Film master tapes, sealed for 16 years, now digitized for the first time. With Kurt Cobain's strong endorsement, Daniel's simple and honest compositions gradually became widely known and attracted the attention of several major record labels. However, what seemed to be a smooth-sailing music career disintegrated due to the collapse of Daniel Johnston's mental and physical health. This film fully documents his divinely inspired artistic talent and the inner turmoil of dancing with the devil, deeply exploring how his album title was not randomly chosen, but truly "If I've seen hell, I'm not afraid of the devil"—a devil's psalm.
