Tarnation



Filmmaker Jonathan Caouette's documentary on growing up with his schizophrenic mother -- a mixture of snapshots, Super-8, answering machine messages, video diaries, early short films, and more -- culled from 19 years of his life.

Steph... I found this documentary to be really disturbing. There was no real flow to it and no real plot. It was like someone combined home movies and visual acid trips together. I know he wanted to give this documentary a dream-like quality and it definitely had that, but it just makes uncomfortable watching it.
