Real Love Winnipeg's HEAVENLY WEEK & Void Micro Cinema present The Devil and Daniel Johnston

Hi, how are you? The Devil and Daniel Johnston is one of the most thoughtful documentaries about creativity and mental-health ever made. Chronicling the life and work of manic-depressive outsider musician and artist Daniel Johnston through a heartfelt and imaginative blend of home movies, Johnston’s own audiotapes, and performance footage, the film paints a portrait of a person whose madness and obsession fuelled a totally unique creative world, sparking his brilliant output and garnering him the adoration of a loyal fanbase including such iconoclastic artists a David Bowie, Beck, Sonic Youth, and Matt Groening.

"Devil leads us into that dark, uncharted valley where evil, genius, divine inspiration, insanity - and other unfathomable mysteries - commingle." - Desson Thomson, Washington Post
