Tarnation
Streaming video - 2004
A groundbreaking development in autobiographical documentary, Jonathan Caouette’s cathartic film diary swirls together Super 8 and VHS home movies, answering machine messages, family photographs, and other records of a lifetime. It tells the story of Caouette’s tumultuous childhood, his coming out as gay, and his complex relationship with his schizophrenic mother, a former beauty queen whose life was derailed by the electroshock treatments she received in her youth. Famously made for just {dollar}218 and edited using free iMovie software, TARNATION went on to become a critical sensation that redefined the boundaries of personal filmmaking.
