This Documentary is Great
This is a documentary about a reclusive musician that lives out on the farthest edges of the fringe between genius and madness. The strangeness of this musician is way too in depth for me to get into here, which is why you should get the movie and find out for yourself. Whether you love or hate...

Good documentary
So this is a documentary on the character that is Jandek, and for those that are unaware, Jandek is one of the most mysterious figures in music and has been for about the last 30 years. The details of his life are barely known, kind of like his actual name, and somehow this man produces some of...

credit is due
I can't believe there are so many 3 star reviews. This was an excellent documentary. It builds suspense almost like a horror movie and while we hear Jandek's voice by the end it in no way betrays the mystery only intensifies it. I watch a lot of documentaries and create them as well and I really...

Don't miss Special Features (Audio)
All of the interviews are interesting, and the Trubee tape (from 1985) provides the only real information in the film.

Eternal navel-gazing of the Indie rockcrit...
The work of Sterling Smith, aka Jandek, the reclusive representative from Corwood Industries, is sadly miscast as "outsider art." This disc's positive elements stem mostly from the quality and consistency of Jandek's recordings over time; the soundtrack is strong. Unfortunately the endless line...

ARE YOU SERIOUS
I watched this movie with a friend and laughed all the way through it. It was the most perfect spoof of "indie rock" imaginable. The movie is so ridiculously repetitive, like the music of Jandek, that my friend eventually insisted on turning it off. I was the only person he had watched it with...

Some Mysteries Revealed
A great documentary for Jandek fans, although I don't think many who are not familiar with his music would appreciate this work. The bulk of the movie is interviews with music critics, but a surprise telephone interview with the eccentric and reclusive artist at the film's end answers some...

Negative Space
This documentary is now a part of the art of Jandek, whether you like it or not. Whether you like Jandek or not. By continuing to make music since 1978 to the present day, without allowing the outside world to know anything at all about him, Jandek creates his own mystery, his own story by...

MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR
Documentary attempts to lift the veil on mysterious, unknown musician, Jandek, who has been steadily producing and distributing his own beatnik meets acid freak music for decades. The only evidence of his identity is a P.O. Box scribed on his self-owned, crudely generic record label, Corwood...

Serves a dual purpose
This documentary serves a dual purpose: not only does it offer a glimpse into the J.D. Salinger of music (and one must use the term "music" loosely in the case of Jandek!), but it also contains the maximum amount of Jandek "music" that one will ever want to endure in their lifetime. :-) Suffice...
