one year passes...
This was actually disappointing. No mention of the Kids soundtrack, anti-semitism, Mark Linkous-produced 'comeback' album, etc, very light on the Jad Fair stuff, too many detours into personal stuff that ultimately didn't amount to much. I don't really give a shit about K MCarty or Louis Black.
yeah. i don't think it's that it's dissatisfying because it omits parts of the story, just that it doesn't link everything together or deal with everything "holistically". it's a really difficult story and fundamentally difficult to reconcile the art with some of the biography (like the woman jumping out of the window), and i don't think the film ever got there. it's obviously good in some sense, and is ridiculously privileged in being a documentary that actually has handheld, subject-authored footage of a lot of the main points of the story to call on (ie going missing in ny &c). just a difficult story i think.
also it kills me how great, how absolutely enduringly zaprudingly classic, super eight blow ups look on screen, whenever you see people old home movies etc. how anyone can object to dubbed lo-tec film-shot footage mystifies me.
