TARNATION
January 7th - 13th
Sutherland Trophy, London Film Festival
“Once in a blue moon, a picture shows up at a festival that bursts our ways of looking at cinema wide open. That this should happen this year at Sundance, and get this by way of a young somebody’s first feature - is something of a miracle.” - LA Weekly
“Remarkable. TARNATION is a powerful and heartbreaking film. Caouette shows himself to be a documentarian of rare skill." - Roger Ebert
Jonathan Caouette’s spellbinding debut TARNATION reimagines the whole idea of what a documentary can be. Caouette has been documenting his life since he was eleven years old. Included in TARNATION are fragments from Caouette’s personal collection of photographs, home movies, audio recordings, video diaries, answering machine messages, Hollywood movie clips, pop music samples and excerpts from his own short films. While undeniably a documentary at heart, TARNATION mines a greater terrain, serving up a history of late twentieth century popular culture and family life that plays out like a collective fever dream. Caouette’s devastating yet hopeful vision becomes a haunting and beautiful examination of the restless soul of America. TARNATION is a raw and sensual display of self-destruction and rebirth that announces the arrival of an exceptional new cinematic visionary. JAN 7-13 2005/100mins/USA/NR
