Whether or not you're familiar with "Don't Play Cards With Satan," "Frito Lay" or other songs from Texas rocker Daniel Johnston, this documentary from director Jeff Feuerzeig will come as a revelation. Are his songs primitive art or just primitive? Does he have fans despite his mental instability or because of it? Using video footage shot by Johnston himself, the doc traces the life of a boy born to Christian-fundamentalist parents who expressed his manic-depression in music and drawings. Bouts with LSD and devil phobias took Daniel off the deep end. No wonder Kurt Cobain was a fan. But it's the way Feuerzeig walks with him on the line between creativity and madness that digs this haunting and hypnotic film into your memory.

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
