tarnation

I saw Tarnation last week. It may be the best documentary I've ever seen. Though it's packed with emotions. Beautifully made, the video-clips, the photos, the music, the story: Jonathan Caouette's self-portrait of his upbringing and his life. Caouette reconstructs his version of his and his family history through the use of home movie footage. Which clearly makes this an interesting case, and makes me crave for more: there must be footage for a few potential "real-life" documentaries around. The exposed (and constructed) life of real people. How alluring.
