Jandek on Corwood
Time Out says
The indie-rock underground is crawling with obscure eccentrics, none more
obscure or eccentric than Jandek. Since 1978, the Houston-based artist has
released 38 albums of meandering, atonal music, while remaining an almost
complete mystery. He doesn't give interviews or appear in public, and he
responds to outside inquiries with cryptic one-line missives. Director Chad
Freidrichs concentrates on the mystique, telling Jandek's story via the
speculative interpretations of assorted indie scenesters who've caught the bug.
Fascinatingly, his film becomes less about biography than the passion of cultish
obsession.
