The Devil and Daniel Johnston (2005)Directed by Jeff Feuerzig, rated PG-13, 110 minutes
The Devil and Daniel Johnston is a tragic and yet inspiring documentary about Daniel Johnston, a revered musician, who's life fell apart when his manic-depression took over and he became obsessed with demons and the devil.

Johnston himself 
is an interesting and charming man, who despite his painful flaws is exhilarating to watch. The Devil and Daniel Johnston is a lasting portrait of complex and brilliant artist, who's life couldn't be more interesting if it was made up.
